The Student Activities Board brought paint, paper and paintbrushes to Free Speech Alley on Tuesday to hold its final event of the semester — Painting on the Geaux.
Campus Life is a student-run organization that brings the student body together through events put on by their six sub-organizations. The Student Activities Board sponsored Painting on the Geaux, where all students were welcome to show up and paint.
Student Activities Board Adviser Shaquille Lowe said students run the organization and choose what kind of events are set up for the student body to connect and work together on campus.
“Anybody can join those committees,” Lowe said. “Only thing you have to do is have a 2.25 [GPA]. You can join the committee, and then you can come up with the events.”
Painting on the Geaux is the last event of the fall semester, but the organization is still taking applications for Leadership LSU, where juniors and seniors learn about ways to be leaders in their last semesters of college life.
Campus Life will now start working on events for the spring 2017 semester. Students can find more information about these events on the myLSU homepage, TigerLink or the official website at lsu.edu/campuslife. The Students Activities Board Staff hopes students can find enjoyment and comfort in the events they sponsor.
“We want to give back to the students,” Lowe said. “Next semester, we have lots of events that we would love to see people at.”
Campus Life’s events throughout the Fall 2016 semester included Homecoming festivities, a talent show, open mic nights, movie screenings on the Parade Grounds and multiple food drives.
Editor’s Note: A previous version of this story said this was the final Campus Life event of the semester. It has been changed to reflect it was the final Student Activities Board event of the semester.
