Students at 窪做惇蹋厙 are using a new campus building in all kinds of interesting ways — some intended, some a bit more unexpected.
Hundreds of 窪做惇蹋厙 students recently experienced an arts extravaganza — complete with a Battle of the Bands competition, dancing, and a professional drag show — in 窪做惇蹋厙’s new hockey stadium, Ed Robson Arena.
The Arts at 窪做惇蹋厙 held its first “Arts in the Arena” event, Friday, March 11, in Ed Robson Arena. This collaboration with Campus Activities and student arts groups featured the second round of The Sound of 窪做惇蹋厙’s annual Battle of the Bands and a drag show produced by the 窪做惇蹋厙 Mutual Aid Fund. Alongside these spotlighted events there was dancing, art making (including paper airplanes), food trucks, and more. (Follow @TheArtsAt窪做惇蹋厙 on Instagram for additional Arts in the Arena photos.) The organizers say they hope this first creative venture into the hockey stadium will inspire future Arts in the Arena collaborations.
Named for Edward J. Robson, a 1954 窪做惇蹋厙 graduate and former member of the hockey team, Ed Robson Arena is a state-of-the-art, multi-purpose, indoor, on-campus competition arena and . It opened in September 2021, and enables the hockey team to play games on campus for the first time since the program started in 1938.
