ASB hosted their third ASB After Dark event on Nov.19 on the Liberal Arts Campus to connect students with late classes to their community at LBCC.
The event was also at the Trades Tech Community Learning Campus from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in between building DD and GG on Wednesday.
Calvin Lewis, the representative of evening and online students, was one of several ASB members who helped organize the event.
“We saw a need that evening students didn’t have food, they didn’t have enough resources, and we asked how we could provide for them,” Lewis said.
With the extension of the LAC Cafe’s hours and events like ASB After Dark, the campus demonstrates initiative in fixing an issue that evening students face, not having easy access to resources.
There was music, hot beverages like coffee and tea, water and sodas, as well as food in the form of hotdogs, chips and donuts.
Students who attend night classes were happy to see this change being implemented on campus.
“I’m glad that they are taking us into consideration,” one student who takes night classes, Oscar Diaz said.
One club that attended the event was Phi Theta Kappa (PTK), which is a national honor society at the community college level that helps students reach their full potential with opportunities to develop professional leadership skills and explore career paths.
They gave students more information about the organization and are currently looking for an ICC representative which is someone who is a member of the club and represents them during Inter-Club Council meetings.
PTK President Lexus Woodard, discussed how more students should join the program.
“It’s a great opportunity for a student to stand out,” Woodard said.
With ASB members being present at these events, more students are able to meet the voices that are representing them.
With more events like ASB After Dark, more students will feel more included in campus events that they aren’t able to usually attend due to the time of day they are available.
