The event which started at 6 p.m. It was initially scheduled to be held outside – running from Milsap Foyer down to the chapel lawn – but was moved inside due to weather conditions. The event was carnival-themed featuring four different food trucks, carnival games, a 360-degree photo booth, gift raffles and more. This event also introduced PSAB’s new collection of merchandise. This is something the organization does every academic year. New PSAB logos are designed by the organization’s VP of marketing to be put on all merchandise.
