Campus-wide Easter egg hunt

SA announces new event

The Student Association team is excited to announce the next big event after the banquet: an Easter egg hunt! The event is on Saturday, April 8. There will be over $1,000 in prizes, including cash prizes, giftcards, electronics and more. Eggs will be hidden outside all around campus which will make this a great opportunity to enjoy Nebraska’s beautiful April weather. 

SA Social Vice President Jacob Sanchez said, “It was primarily inspired by an institutional development class I took my sophomore year. We had to plan a campus wide event to practice fundraising strategies. At the time, we had a sponsor who supported us and donated to us to put on an Easter egg hunt! It seemed like everybody really enjoyed it, so I wanted to bring it back at a larger scale.”

The Easter Egg Hunt is going to be one of the last major campus-wide events of the year. This event will take place after our March formal banquet, and will be the last event before the annual Night Under the Lights.

After planning all of these events, Sanchez said that the best thing was “seeing people come together and having fun.”

“It’s been super encouraging to alway see the amount of people that have been coming to the events,” he said. “There are always groups around campus that hang out all the time, and it’s nice to see these groups show up and mingle as a campus family. It truly has allowed me to see the unity that comes with Union!”
