The Office of Student Development hosted Lawn Games, outdoor activities that students were able to choose from in between classes, on Oct. 6 on East Hill. 

There were different lawn games set up for students such as corn hole, spike ball, can jam and connect 4, according to Melissa Aponte, director of student development.   

The event was developed to promote more engagement between students.  

“The objective is to provide a space for students to relax and have fun with each other in between classes or when they have free time,” Aponte said. “We want students to know that we want them to engage with each other on campus and enjoy some in–person activities, while doing so in a safe way.” 

About 15 students attended the event, according to Aponte. Most of the supplies used were already available from previous events. Much of the set up included the utilization of student staff.  

In order to cooperate with safety guidelines, students were asked to wipe down the equipment in between activities and when they were done.  Since the event was outdoors, the games were able be played physically spaced out, according to Aponte.
