Campus Lights Up at Second Annual Glow SMC
Students and community members lit up the night at Glow SMC, a neon-filled celebration held March 21 in the Soda Center, returning for its second year on campus.
Building on the success of last year’s event, Glow SMC brought back fan favorites, including the glow skating rink, LED mini golf, and airbrush artists. Attendees also enjoyed a new lineup of activities this year, including a silent disco in a glow tent and a variety of arcade games, adding even more ways to dance, play, and connect.
The Soda Center was transformed into a vibrant, glowing wonderland, with neon lights illuminating every corner. Students navigated between the skating rink, mini golf course, and glowing games, while music and colorful lights set the energetic tone for the evening. Airbrush artists were busy creating custom designs, and the silent disco gave attendees the chance to dance together while listening to their choice of music through wireless headphones, creating a uniquely immersive experience.
