The Student Activities Board (SAB) has rolled out the welcome mat for students today with the Cougar Playday event.
From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. today the Student Activities Board hosted the Cougar Playday event at Firstenburg Student Commons. This event included a tournament with prizes, plenty of food, and there was a ping pong table.
Lindsey Ortega, Chair of the SAB, was handing out food at the event, and said it was the fact that the SAB is helping foster relationships amongst students on campus that made Ortega enjoy these events so much.
“We know it’s harder to socialize on a commuter campus, where people just tend to come and go,” Ortega said.

Past events from the SAB like this have brought in close to 60 or 70 people, according to Ortega. She said the SAB will be doing 2 events every month.
Engineering major A. F. mentioned she was enjoying the food the most, as well as hanging out with her friend Koi.
Koi said she was also just enjoying hanging out with a friend there, as opposed to talking to strangers.
In regards to the next semester, A. F. said she was mostly looking forward to “being done with it. Also not losing a finger, I’m in engineering.”
