Cabrini Students ran and participated in a color run around campus starting from the commons.
Nick Guldin put together and coordinated this event and it is his second year in CavTraditions.
“I am actually really excited that Cabrini is doing something like this. I would really love it if our school became more unified and had more events like this,” said Valeri DiCarlo junior social work major.
The newly created event started at 6:30 with the new president Don Taylor addressing the crowd and kicking off the event.
Shortly after, the President revealed each of the grades’ colors and directed the students to get their free t-shirts.
During the summer, students were sent an email from the Center for Student Engagement and Leadership (SEaL) which contained a survey that asked what color they would want their grade to be represented by. That survey determined what color each grade would be and tallied how many t-shirts were required for the students that planned on attending.
SEaL helped out handing out all of the different t-shirts and helped set up.
“We are expecting at least 50 people to come,” said Laura Petrucci, junior business administration major, who is a part of the Cavalier traditions committee.
The turnout of the color run was more than 50 people.
Over 100 pounds of paint was thrown all over students while they ran around the Cabrini campus. Before the run started paint was thrown by the runners.
As the run commenced, paint was thrown at runners at different stations on campus. The paint stations were located at the back of the apartments and in front of Xavier Hall before the run came to an end.
“I had so much fun. I really hope we do something like this every year,” said exercise science major Ryan Klott.
