Every year at Christmas, Union Board hosts our GALA extravaganza! It is a time honored tradition for students because they get a catered meal...they get to dress up...and if they have had their eye on someone all semester they usually work up the nerve to ask them to Gala. It's lots of fun for the staff to sit back and watch. This year GALA fell right in the middle of finals so it was humorous to watch students walk around for days in grubby clothes with bloodshot eyes and then come to GALA in suits and formals. The entertainment is always a treat and this year was no exception. This year Dr. Aguillard, Dr. Guilbert, Dr. Quarles, and Tim Johnson sang in a quartet and they were fabulous. In fact I have been walking around for days singing their little number.
My first GALA I was asked to emcee the event so I had to go all out with my attire. My second year I just sat back and blended into the background. So for year three it was time to make a grand entrance again! I must say we accomplished our mission and I had the funnest date of the night. I was escorted by none other than Alex the Wildcat...our mascot. Peoples' faces were priceless and everyone wanted to know who was in the suit. Sara and I were Beauty and the Beast of GALA. Here are some pictures of the evening.
