Student Engagement and First-Year Transitions arranged a fun way for students to release their mid-semester tensions.

“To celebrate midterms and the hard work of our students, we wanted to blow off some steam,” said Mallory L. Weymer, director of student engagement and first-year transition. “Students had 90 seconds to do their worst to an old car kindly donated by Engineering Technologies. By the end of the event, the car was hardly recognizable, and students were laughing with new friends, holding broken-off pieces of the vehicle like treasured prizes.”
