Last night the student activities department hosted an event in the HPERC called “WITTness Wednesday”. The event was Wittenberg’s version of the NCAA Division I’s Midnight Madness that many big school’s celebrate at the first practice of the basketball season.

What a BLAST! We had an awesome MC in Ryan Gresham, one of our awesome Wittenberg student-athlete alums and current admission counselor. Alongside Ryan was a DJ playing music all night. The first 50 students that came into the gym received a free WITTness Wednesday t-shirt as well as a free slice of pizza and drink. Once inside the gym, students had the opportunity to compete in shooting games for prizes such as basketball t-shirts and plastic drinking cups. Following the student competitions, our team, the men’s team and the cheer squad were introduced to the crowd of students. The team then had the chance to scrimmage and preview the team for the season. There was an excellent turnout and the students in the stands had great energy!

This was our first year hosting the event and I look forward to making it an annual event - a fun, exciting way to kick off the season!
