The Office of Special Events and Projects and RecWell’s Outdoor Adventures program will offer students exclusive discounted tickets with free transportation to popular events and locations in South Florida, also known as Sharks on the Scene.
Graduate Assistant for Special Events & Projects Lorena Cabrera said that through this program, students will have the opportunity to explore South Florida and other areas and take advantage of what is here.
“Given the unique culture of South Florida, there is an abundance of diverse cultural, leisure and learning experiences that our students can benefit from,” she said.
S.O.S. upcoming events will be announced through email, posters, flyers, social media and word of mouth.
Since the S.O.S. program is in high demand, Cabrera advises students to check emails from S.O.S. and pay attention to ticket sale dates. Students are also encouraged to arrive early on sale dates to increase their chances of securing a ticket.
The tickets are only available to NSU students on a first come, first served basis. All attendees must ride in the transportation provided to S.O.S. events.
Cabrera said S.O.S. was created to provide students with the opportunity to enhance their collegiate experience outside of the university.
“The goal when establishing S.O.S. was to create small, personal and memorable experiences that allow students to engage with one another, establishing a connection between students who might not normally meet,” she said.
The program originally launched in January and Cabrera said it has been very successful since its beginning.
“We are very impressed with the outcome of S.O.S,” she said. “Our student response and satisfaction levels were extremely high. So far, student’s interest and reaction to what we have planned for this semester have also been positive.”
The upcoming event for this month is to Rapids Water Park on Sept. 26 at 9 a.m. The ticket price is $15, which includes park entry and a meal ticket.
All tickets will be sold in the Office of Student Activities, located in the Don Taft University Center. Phone, email orders or ticket reservations are not allowed. Students must show their SharkCard to purchase tickets.
