Many students may recall the rain that cut NSU’s annual “SGA Electric Water Works” event last August short by several hours. To make up for it, NSU’s undergraduate SGA and NSU’s student-run radio station, Radio X, will host an Election Day party on April 11 from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. in the Flight Deck in the Don Taft University Center.
Undergraduate SGA’s elections will run April 8 through April 11 at noon, and results will be announced at the party.
According to undergraduate SGA president Chris Mignocchi, past years’ election results were announced at a small-scale event.
“We want this party to be much bigger than our usual Election Day celebration because we owe the students one more night of fun,” said Mignocchi.
The free event will include live music, catered food, and several raffles and giveaways. A mix of house and hip-hop music will be provided by local artist and junior biology major DJ Sid. The party will be different from “Water Works” in several ways, the main one being the indoor location.
Mignocchi hopes that the event will make up for the disappointment that many students expressed to him after “Water Works”.
“Someone actually told me that it was the best 45 minutes ever on campus,” he said. “Even though everyone was upset that it was shut down early because of the weather, they had a great time.”
The Election Day party will take place during the Student Events and Activities (S.E.A.) Board’s “Spring Fling” week, which is a week-long campus event celebrating the semester’s approaching end. Spring Fling will kick off on April 9 at 3 p.m. with a color war in the Alvin Sherman Library Quad.
Brittany Schemtob, senior psychology major and SGA’s campus entertainment director said of the Election Day, “We want to make the party a ‘traditional college night’, so there will be food, music, dancing and lots of free stuff.”
More details regarding the event will be announced as Spring Fling week approaches.
