The Pride

Issue date: 2/12/08 Section: Entertainment

At University Village, the staff is constantly working to build community. Part of community is relationships, therefore, this St. Valentine's Day, they will be focusing on just that. Several resident advisors and the Resident Hall Council will transform the newly refurbished game room into a center of love connections. On Wednesday, February 13th, student residents can take part in a speed-dating event entitled, 'Come Single, Leave Lucky.' Tables will be up set so that young men and women can pair together and chat for a few minutes and try to make a connection for the most romantic holiday of the year. Recent conferences to share program ideas inspired this event. As well as a chance to meet a special someone, there will also be hors d'oeuvres and 'mock tails' to refresh flirting people who grow weary. Conrad Ottey, an RA, says, "Our goal is that people get to know each other. It is not just about a love connection, but students getting to meet others." Nick Falconer, a student who plans on attending says, "I hope to meet more than a few new ladies, but having a good time is most important." Based on the success of the program, it may become a yearly tradition.
