Winter Gala

Winter Gala, the ultimate Late Night event, occurs the first Friday after classes resume in the Spring semester. During Winter Gala, the entire University Center is utilized to create a full experience for students. A central theme sets the tone and atmosphere for the event, and a number of rooms throughout the UC, each hosted by a different department within the Division of Student Affairs and its campus partners, highlights a motif which falls within the overall theme. 

Some highlights of the evening typically include fantastic prizes awarded at the end of the night, a no-cash casino, complete with entertainment, in which you play to win prize drawing entries, food, giveaways, crafts and activities, and plenty of fun!
