Hoops Fo' a Slice: Friday Fun Days with HST

Sarah Merrion





Hey Huskies!

With the Men's Basketball season coming to a close and only a few home games left, HST wanted to do something special for the students on campus. To get everyone pumped up for big game that night - UW vs. WSU (booo cougs), we used our Registered Student Organization (RSO) resources from the HUB to set up a table and tent right outside of the HUB's main entrance. 

With blue skies, a cool ride, and some speak of free snacks were were able to get the word out and rally up some students in Red Square to head over to the HUB at high noon. Waiting there form them we had 10 pizzas, a platter of veggies (for the healthy Huskies), and tons of flyers and posters. 

Nom nom nom

We started the day with 800 flyers, and were able to get about 550 handed out to students while golf carting in red square and handing them out with every slice of pizza in front of the HUB. We couldn't have done it without a little help from the Husky Cheer Squad! Thanks guys! PS Students - UW Cheer has tryouts coming up in April!

Don't get it twisted, the students had to work for their lunch! To win a slice or a snack students had to make a basket in the mini hoop! It was great way to have some Friday Fun while interacting with the students and reminding them about the awesome "Vegas Baby: Win a Trip to the Pac-12 Tournament" promotion that was going on at the game that night.

Fridays are a bit slow on campus (especially when everyone is playing hooky to hang out in the sun). Maybe next time there is a Sunny Friday, HST can try tabling up by the "W" near the main entrance of campus to get the flyers to everyone walking to class and to those who skipped out on class, too!

Along with the free food, we also wanted make sure that students who haven't had a chance to get their 2014 Baseball and Softball posters could grab one to take home!

Until Next Time,
Sarah
