Whether one is new to college or close to graduating, there is one event a student can count on the first week of fall semester with free food, music and movies: the Campus Activities Council’s Howdy Week.
Serving to welcome students to OU, Howdy Week chair Ashley Zumwalt said Howdy Week is also a way for students to become acquainted with fellow students, while also enjoying free food and prizes and events.
With CAC coordinating several student groups, petroleum engineering junior Zumwalt said Howdy Week is a way for to help students ease their way back into a new school year.
This year, food vendors such as In The Raw Sushi, La Baguette Pastries and Jimmy John’s Sandwiches will provide free food along the South Oval and this year’s featured entertainment is comedian Michael Palascak on Thursday and UPB Ben Kweller concert on Friday both at the Oklahoma Memorial Union’s east lawn.
with Howdy Week being the first CAC event many students participate in, CAC Chair and public relations senior Valerie Hall said her big goal for this year with CAC is to help all those involved in CAC to take on a more leadership role within the organization.
“Being a CAC event chair is unlike any other opportunity on campus,” Zumwalt said. “Personally, I have found that leading by example and allowing members of the executive committee to take ownership in the event to be the most essential things that a Chair could do.”
