“Welcome Back UW!” is the first “Union After Dark” event to kick off the fall semester at the University of Wyoming Friday, Aug. 23. The free event is open to the UW community.
Presented by 7220 Entertainment in the Wyoming Union, the fun-filled night begins at 8 p.m. with a variety of activities, including a macaroni and cheese bar, mocktails, do-it-yourself succulents, classic bingo, laser tag and other entertainment. The evening will feature a special performance by comedian Troy Bond at 10 p.m. in the Wyoming Union Ballroom.
“Welcome Back UW!” is an opportunity to welcome back students after summer break and introduce new freshmen to campus life. The event offers an alcohol-free alternative for students who either cannot or prefer not to drink, demonstrating that a fun and engaging campus life can thrive in an alcohol-free environment, according to the 7220 Entertainment team.
The event also is a valuable opportunity for students to connect with one another outside of the classroom, providing a much-needed break from academics and work. Events, such as Union After Dark, play a crucial role in fostering a sense of community and belonging among students, enhancing their overall college experience, according to organizers.
The 7220 Entertainment team will continue to host Union After Dark events throughout the academic year, providing students with ongoing opportunities for fun and connection. Other events, all scheduled on Fridays, are Oct. 11; Oct. 25; Dec. 6; Feb. 7; March 7; and April 4. Each event promises new and exciting activities, according to the 7220 Entertainment team.
