Campus Activities Hosts Ice Skating Event

MISHAWAKA–On Sunday, Jan. 15, Campus Activities hosted the annual Bethel skating party at Howard Park. One of the more popular events sponsored by Campus Activities and the Wellness Department, this event has been a staple of the spring semester for quite a long time. According to Allison Nicholas, who works with Campus activities, this event usually sees around two hundred students in attendance, making it one of the most well-attended events in the academic calendar. Freshmen and sophomores attended at 8 p.m., while upperclassmen attended the event at 9 p.m.  

It is only in more recent years that this event has been at Howard Park, a newer venue near downtown South Bend. This facility features both a large ice rink and an ice-skating trail. “They’ve been great to work with,” Nicholas said. 

This event was free to students. 

“Students need not pay for most of these events that we [Campus Activities] host,” Nicholas said. 

In the coming weeks, Campus Activities will be hosting a Mario Kart tournament on Jan. 20, as well as a life-sized Dutch Blitz on Jan. 27.
