This last Sunday was a day not to be forgotten. Not because of the game’s winning play, but of StepUp’s ability to come together to host a successful event. This past Sunday, StepUP had a super bowl party in one of the flats where over half of the StepUP community came together to cook, eat, and laugh. We managed to get our hands on a projector and speakers to view the game from one of the students who works for the event staff. We then filled up the living room with couches from all the different flats to provide more than enough comfortable space for all the students to lounge about. Another student provided the entire party with delicious hot Italian sandwiches that were gone before the second quarter had even started. Then there was the deep fryer that one student used to help top the party off with deep fried wings, oreos, macaroni bites, and peanut butter balls.
Everyone contributed in some way or form to help with the event. It was a wonderful experience having the community come together once again. Even the students who had no interest in the game were content with all the food and conversation that was happening. I could not of been more pleased with the turnout of the event and have high hopes for the future events StepUP will be organizing.
