Tiki Night!

by: Haley Myers

The housing staffs of Napier, Lund and Tutwiler combined their creative minds and talents together to host Tiki Night.

Each month, the housing staffs in the different residence halls host events for their residents.  They have four categories: developmental, community service, community building, and diversity. This event is developmental, says Laura Poythress, the R.A. on the Phi Mu hall in Tutwiler.

"We wanted to teach people of Montevallo about Hawaiian culture, so that’s what this is about, actually, and we joined forces with two other housing staffs to make this a big event.”

Not only was there delicious food, which consisted of hamburgers and hotdogs, fresh cut fruit and some punch, but there was even a contest for the best costume (if you were brave enough to dress up in a grass skirt.)





The event was a success, and the students were able to relax and unwind before they kick it into high gear for finals week coming up.

Events like these are held throughout the year in the residence halls, so keep your eyes open to flyers and banners in your residence hall, and Facebook posts from your R.A.'s.
