Editorial: Guess who’s coming to campus events?

Closer to the beginning of last semester, we published an editorial in this space encouraging students to get involved campus activities.
We are not taking credit for anything, but it sure seems like student involvement is on the rise, thanks to an increase in available activities.
When the IV Leader hosted a Halloween costume contest back in October, we were a little nervous about the turnout, but it turned out to be excellent!
We’ve seen this trend continue, from a crowded cafeteria being entertained a magician of sorts, to long lines of hungry students waiting to get their fill of a Black History Month buffet. The organizations and individuals putting time and money into hosting these events deserve praise for what they bring to our campus.
It is equally great to see students taking the time to participate and take advantage of what is offered to them.
Most recently the Edible Car Contest took over the lobby, drawing 132 participants and a big crowd of spectators.
There are plenty more events planned for the remainder of the semester. Just take a look inside this issue of the IV Leader: there is a Japanese culture night, an Italian culture night and lots of Women’s History Month events.
An active campus is a happy campus, and it seems this campus is really kicking into gear. As the semester begins to wrap up, we hope the activities and events will stay plentiful and the students will stay involved!
