Harvest Fest at Sinclair is the perfect opportunity to relax and meet other students while celebrating the midpoint of the fall semester.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kates Brommeland, the Coordinator of Student Engagement at Sinclair, is very excited about the event.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe really want our students to come out and join us for the event, it\u2019s a perfect way for them to connect with their fellow classmates,\u201d Brommeland said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The event is open to all students, staff and faculty, and there will be a wide variety of activities to partake in.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Brommeland, the event is a great way to see what campus life is like while connecting with other students.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cStudents can share their experience and it creates this community and I think community is so important,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Brommeland, it\u2019s important for students to connect with each other because they may be working with each other somewhere down the line, so it\u2019s important to establish a community while in college.<\/span><\/p>\n

There will be supersized versions of Connect 4, Jenga and Checkers available, as well as many rounds of harvest trivia from around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

Harvest trivia is, according to Brommeland, a good way to look at harvests from around the world and see how they are celebrated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, the Clarion is hosting a costume contest. All you have to do is get your picture taken in costume at the Clarion photo booth, and you\u2019ll be entered to win a prize.<\/span><\/p>\n

There will be plenty of snacks and refreshments provided, as well as music playing and TV to watch on the big screens.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Brommeland, Harvest Fest is a way for students to relax a little bit and celebrate the fact that they are now halfway through the semester.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cJust coming and having fun and just taking a break,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another goal of the event is to show what Building 8 can offer Sinclair students.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of students don\u2019t really know about our building, they aren\u2019t aware of the great services and programs the Student and Community Engagement office provides,\u201d Brommeland said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Building 8 houses the gymnasium, pool and athletic facilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

The basement floor contains meeting places for student clubs and organizations, a game room and different departments that offer help on career building skills. It is where employers go to find Sinclair students or alumni to work for them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Harvest Fest takes place on Tuesday, October 25, from 11a.m. to 1p.m. in the basement floor of Building 8.<\/span><\/p>\n
