Student Life and PTK Hosts A Night Under the Stars
Upon first walking into PVCC, the smell of Chick-fil-A and other various foods filled the air. There was a nice ambiance from the star lighting that the hosts put up. The sounds of ’90s music filled the air from the DJ performing his setlist. Student Life and PTK hosted a night to remember at PVCC on March 22, an event-filled night with fun activities for everyone.
PTK helped decorate the Bolick Center. Samantha Facio, Public Relations Officer of the Student Government Association (SGA), designed the flyers and tickets for the event. Mara Cox, President of the Geology Club and President of the SGA, said, “Mary-Evelyn did a stellar job picking out the food and laying it out beautifully! They had everything from cupcakes to shrimp!”
Cox said, “I had a great time at the PTK event! It was so much fun to cut loose and see everyone in their formal attire. PTK put so much work into this event to make it magical for everyone! It really was a super fun night and a great bonding experience. I really hope this becomes an annual event. My favorite dance was the Macarena where everyone joined on the dance floor together was a blast!”
It was a sight to behold. Star-shaped lights were hanging from the rafters of the Bolick Center. There were decorations on all of the tables. There was even edible glitter one could put in their drinks to make them shine. This event had something for everyone. The night included plenty of food to go around, dancing, and even rock painting, which many people took part in.
Public Relations Officer of the SGA Facio said, “I felt proud walking in and seeing how our hard work paid off because it looked a million times better than I imagined. It was such a fun vibe. I had a lot of fun seeing my classmates mingling and introducing my fiancé to my peers and mentors. My favorite part was the dancing and the food. The food was good! I danced a lot, but my favorite was the slow dancing to one of my peers playing the piano. I slow danced with my fiancé to the classical music; it was very dreamy.”
There were plenty of activities for everyone, such as rock painting. Facio did not participate in the rock painting but thoroughly enjoyed watching her friends participate.
