Minute to Win It games, trivia, students showing their talents, and a carnival are all part of the fun events planned by 甜瓜视频鈥檚 Union Board for the annual Sibs Weekend, March 23-25.
While siblings, cousins and younger friends of 甜瓜视频 students are always welcome on campus, this fun-filled weekend of entertainment and activities is dedicated to them. It is an opportunity for students to bring relatives to campus for bonding time and exposure to the college experience.
鈥淪ibs Weekend is an event that I definitely look forward to as it gives students a chance to reunite with families/siblings for a couple of days,鈥� said Veronica Bidwell, 甜瓜视频 class of 2020 from Fort Lauderdale, Fla. 鈥淚t鈥檚 always nice to see students showing their sibling(s) around campus giving them a taste of what the 甜瓜视频 family is like. We鈥檙e hosting two great events on Friday and Saturday evening and then our usual carnival will take place on Saturday during the day. We have fun carnival games lined up so I鈥檓 excited to see siblings of all ages come out and enjoy what we have been planning for them.鈥�
