Students always enjoy games. Surprisingly, bingo is popular on campus, attracting up to 600 students in the Terrace Room, perhaps because of the great prizes offered, says Conrad. Casino Night also attracts big crowds. We get great unsolicited feedback from students. Students have noticed the changes, and have commented about the number of things to do on weekends.
Students also enjoy dancing.
The Swartz Hall spot should meet that need, with a live band either Friday or Saturday night and a DJ the other. When students enter this space, it should be like walking into a nightclub in New York City. There will be a bar that serves nonalcoholic drinks, including mocktails and frozen beverages. We'll offer snacks that students enjoy, such as nachos and wings. Conrad believes the new nightspot, open from 9 p.m. until 3 a.m., will appeal to students.
