Campus Director, Jen Price, announced at the end of a sweaty and fun Olympic night that the scholars would have their long-anticipated first GSP Dance in a short fifteen minutes. In light of the night’s events, the theme would be Olympics. After attempting to quickly clean themselves up, scholars came to the Arboreto in their best American wear or Greek-inspired bedsheet togas to celebrate a successful first week of GSP.


While at the dance, scholars enjoyed getting down to all their favorite songs and line dances. Fellow scholar, Luke Wyatt, even attempted to teach the crowd a dance to the song The Git Up. At the end of the dance, everyone was reluctant to go back to their dorms after such a fun and exciting night. The next morning, campus was buzzing with talk of how scholars could not wait for the next one. What will the theme be next?
