Black Student Council will hold an event titled Love and Basketball on Friday at 6 p.m. in the Wellness Center.

On Monday, April 23, at 4:30 p.m., students are encouraged to join RCA and the Student Government Association in the freshman parking lot to help assist with creating the world’s largest game of Duck-Duck-Goose.
The current record is 2,200 participants playing the game for 15 minutes, and lead-organizer Jonah Waggoner hopes to see the record eclipsed.
“It’s a great unity event,” Waggoner said. “How cool would it be to break a world record playing a game from your childhood?”
