For those who may not know, I am a senior, and this will unfortunately be my last Spirit Week as a student at Nevada State College. So as a student on my way out, can I let you in on a little secret? In no other school do you get the chance to bond with your fellow students and administration in such a manner. Spirit Week is your chance to break the monotony of hours-long lectures and get closer to the community around you. In years past I have used the week to get to know my fellow scorpions who I now consider great friends.
But, what if you don’t know which event to attend? Allow me to show you a few do-not-miss events!
Bowling with Bart 6pm to 8pm 9/17/18: There are a few things I love in life. I love free food, I love free drinks, and I love a good competition. At Bowling with Bart, hosted by our president Bart Patterson, the walls between administrative and student life are shattered by a friendly 10 frames. Previously, I have had the chance to beat an unnamed administration official (name withheld as not to embarrass them). Plus, free pizza? Count me in every time!
Space is limited, and registration is required. RSVP
Be Colorful Tie-Dye Station 10am to 12pm 9/20/18: An amazing quality of this school is that NSC embraces creativity and individuality. In between some of your early classes you have the chance to get a bit creative and maybe even a little messy during this event. Plus, you don’t have to be the next Picasso to tie dye a free bandana!
Scorpion’s Calling 4:30pm to 9pm 9/20/18: Go out and let loose! Gather outside of a formal setting with your fellow scorpions and let loose with carnival games, music, and even a dunk tank. Who wouldn’t love the opportunity to dunk one of their more challenging professors? I know I wouldn’t!
Lastly, if you RSVP (at nsc.edu/spiritweek) to any of the events on the Spirit Week calendar you get to take home a free Spirit Week T-shirt*
Yay! Free stuff!
*Registration and event attendance required. Limit one t-shirt per person. While supplies last.
