Our event, Game Night Getaway, was a blast. We definitely achieved our goal of giving students a chance to take their minds off finals. Final exam week is very stressful for students. We learned about why it is important to remain calm and relaxed while taking a final, and it can become overwhelming for many people.
The event was full of fun! We gave out prizes that consisted of Women’s Center tumbler, t-shirts, whistles, coffee, and more. The prizes were given out for the winners of our bingo game. The biggest prize was given to our raffle ticket winner. There was great food to top off a fun event.
I enjoyed seeing everyone smiling and laughing, and getting away from the normal stresses of the week. While being able to be active and have fun at our event, this was a learning experience also: the students were able to talk about stress with Kate Melton from Student Health & Wellness.
