Hype Night was a huge success earlier this month with over 800 people packed into the gym celebrating school spirit.
The goal of Hype Night – a pep rally held Oct. 6 – was to create an amazing atmosphere and enhance school spirit. Organizers say they accomplished that mission and there’s video to prove it.
“After months of planning this event we were able to start a movement within the University that students are proud to be apart of. #WEAREREADY is here to stay and it will only get bigger,” said fourth-year student Mohamed Hassan.
Bawe Nsame, a fourth-year student who came up with the #WEAREREADY campaign, said the event more than doubled the attendance of last year’s pep rally.
“We are trying to build a culture in the University and by doing events like this, we see students are willing to invest their time, energy, and pure passion into this culture,” he said. “We are here for four years, let’s make the best of it! We Are Ready.”
Next up for the #WEAREREADY campaign is the basketball home opener on Nov. 27.
The video below gives a snapshot of the energy and excitement of hype night.
