With only a minute to complete a task, students participated in the The Late Knight Committee “Minute to Win It” event.
Some of the tasks included popping an entire sheet of bubble wrap, sticking your nose in vaseline to move cotton balls into a bowl, and transferring ping pong balls from a glass atop a helmet into a bucket on the ground.
“It’s a great time,” said Lauren Pelletier, a member of the planning committee.
“And you can win great prizes.”
Prizes for the minute to win it event ranged from gift cards to Panera, Starbucks, and Regal Theaters, to Saint Rose “swag,” a beauty kit, and an introductory yoga book, among others.
Late Knight events are coordinated by students, for other students.The committee meets at 4 p.m. on Wednesdays in the Student Affairs conference room.
“We provide late night alcohol free events as an alternative to partying,” said Theresa Belfance, a member of the committee.
Upcoming events include a trip to Dave and Buster’s, a casino night, and a paint and sip event.
“They come up with really great events,” said Chereva McClellan, the adviser to the programming committee. “They give up their weekends to put on events for the rest of the campus.”
