Tuesday, October 28 was the first Mix It Up day in the cafeteria. Sponsored by the SGA, students were each given a different colored lifesaver candy on their way into lunch and had to sit at a table of the corresponding color.  The tables were in an unusual pattern, and the students were given conversation topics.

The purpose of Mix It Up day is to encourage students to break stereotypes.  For more information about this program, visit the national website.
