Pine Technical College's Student Senate and Student-Parent Success program hosted and sponsored PTC's Second Annual Spring Fling last Friday evening. The event drew more than 200 students, staff, faculty, and their family members to the college's east lawn for games and a barbecue dinner, catered by Nicoll's Café.
"The Spring Fling is a special event to celebrate everyone's hard work throughout the year, and it marks the culmination of another academic year," says Laureen Williams, Director of the Student-Parent Success program. "It provides an opportunity for everyone to showcase their campus to their family members and, since it coincides with Finals Week, this event allows everyone to let off some steam, eat some delicious barbecue, and have some fun together in a no-stress environment," Williams adds.
All student clubs participated in the event by either organizing and hosting a game-station, or by assisting with planning the event. Games included a ring-toss, a bean-bag toss, fishing, remote-controlled robotics, and more. Additionally, attendees were able to pose in a photo booth and capture the event on film. All games, food, events, and prizes were free to attendees.
"We are pleased with the participation and turnout," says Tim Soderbeck, Student Senate Parliamentarian. "The Spring Fling is a big hit because of everyone involved in pulling it together. I'm already looking forward to next year's," Soderbeck adds.
