Drew University’s Student Government for the College of Liberal Arts hosted a bingo night for students in the Ehinger Center, providing pizza and snacks for those who attended the event, Oct. 16. Also in attendance were campus organizations, like the Drew Student Voter Project, as well as several of the Student Body Senators.
The event began around 6 p.m., and students quickly began to flow in. Many in attendance had brought friends and classmates, so the Ehinger Center’s food court section quickly began to fill up and the volume rose as students chatted amongst each other. Once the bingo began, competition became heated as people searched their boards for a possible winner.
The DSVP table also attracted many passersby entering the event, encouraging more students to vote before New Jersey’s deadlines. The table included prizes for proving registration to vote, including candy and entry into a raffle for an Amazon gift card. Also featured was a trifold poster board explaining the process of registering and voting and listing the registration deadlines for each U.S. state.
As the snacks and food flew off the plates, prizes were distributed to the various winners while the bingo progressed. The event ended around 8 p.m., though some students lingered and socialized with friends, and many who did remarked that the games were very effective in promoting engagement with Student Government. Future events will be promoted and announced through the Student Government’s Instagram, which can be found at @duclasga.
