This past Thursday marked the first official community-wide event for Indiana University’s newest Residential Complex, Union Street Center. With music playing and the smell of food in the air, it was not surprising to see such a large crowd waiting to be served an early dinner in the north courtyard.
While attendance at earlier community based events during welcome week was meager at best, the enticing advertisement of a hog roast and various sides, along with a beautiful fall afternoon, yielded an impressive turnout for a residential facility of more than 800 returning students.
With food being served from 6-8 PM, residents were given plenty opportunity to surrender the privacy of their brand new apartments and explore the diverse student body that lives around them.
Chairs and tables provided an intuitive location for friends and neighbors to mingle while enjoying the evenings feast.With the official completion date for Union Street Center quickly approaching (October 26), this first community activity was an impressive showing of the enthusiasm returning students have for this brand new facility. And with the incredibly enthusiastic attendance this event attracted, I would not be surprised if others are already being planned.
