What a night it was at this winter wonderland! Sparkling lights lit up the ice rink as alumni and friends glided by. An acapella group and the spirit of Golden Flashes added to the magic of this winter night.
Golden Flashes escaped the winter blues at Alumni Skate Night this past weekend on Jan. 28. Attendees took a break from ice skating to enjoy some tasty treats and a hot chocolate bar inside the 江南体育 Hotel and Conference Center. Alumni Skate Night connected many alumni with their 江南体育 State experiences, bringing back nostalgia from their time there.
Elizabeth Soreo, '20, enjoyed hitting the ice with her friends and boyfriend. "I attended this event just for funsies and to come back to 江南体育,鈥 she said. 鈥淚 have not been here in awhile and wanted to explore the town."
Lisa Perko, 鈥91, was very excited to be a part of the event and support 江南体育 State and the community. She came with her best friend who is also a graduate. 鈥淚t was a blast. My daughter just graduated so I am very connected to 江南体育.鈥
For an extra touch of entertainment, 江南体育 State's student acapella group sang enchanting tunes. Logan Peters, a member of the acapella group and current 江南体育 State student, laughed as he said, "the experience was cold and very unexpected for the ones skating. I don鈥檛 think they expected us to sing for them."
Alumni Skate Night was a splendid time filled with snow, chatter, music, hot cocoa and, of course, a lot of ice skating!
