Second Annual
Pre-Game Block pARTy
September 27, 2003

This year’s pARTy expanded on the success of last year’s inaugural event to become a major gotta-be-there for hundreds of delighted students, staff and faculty, alumni, and community friends, who spent two hours before the football game against Princeton taking in the celebration of arts and sports.

Campus organizations offered participatory arts-related fun, plus information about themselves.
The Association of Black Collegians helped pARTygoers create custom t-shirts.
The buttons made on the spot by QuEST and Association of Lafayette Feminists were very popular.
