Student Government Activities Hosts Spring 2025 Spirit Week

From January 21 to January 24, 2025, Centenary University hosted Spirit Week in Lackland with the help of Student Government Activities (SGA). During this week-long event, 17 clubs, including the Multicultural Club, WNTI, the Cyclone Chronicle, and the Color Guard, were tabled outside the cafeteria for four days, four to six per day.

Last semester, there was a one-day event called the Involvement Fair, where many clubs and Greeks sat outside in the Quad, showcasing what their clubs were about. This semester, the whole event was changed due to the cold weather.

“What I chose to do was have people come out when going to the cafeteria because everybody needs to get food. They’ll come out, see people, and want to engage,” said sophomore Amanda Lorenzo, the head of the student organization for the SGA.

This event helped many clubs gain members and helped students find different clubs, and ways to interact and form connections on campus. 

“The most important thing is getting involved,” Lorenzo said. “I tell people all the time that your connections will take you a lot farther than anything else.” 

“This is great that we’re going to have this kind of exposure that people can come through and find out about the newspaper,” said junior Alexis d'Ambly, editor-in-chief of the Cyclone Chronicle. 

“I think it’s helped my club a lot, even though it hasn’t started, but it's going to bring attention to people who look forward to joining a lot of clubs and organizations,” said sophomore Nick Storms, the president of the newly founded Bowling Club. “Starting this club was about allowing students to be a part of an organization to socialize and have fun. Bowling is a perfect game for that, because it involves competitiveness and you can enjoy food and drinks. The practices will be held at Oakwood Lanes starting March 2." More practice days to come.  

“I started the tennis club because tennis is a big sport in my family and I've always enjoyed it,” said sophomore Carlee Nigro, president of the Tennis Club. “I believe that tennis could become a big sport here at Centenary and I wanted to be the one to start it.”

“This event is important because it shows students what clubs are on campus and brings connections between students,” said freshman Caprice Copeland, a new member of the WNTI.

“WNTI prides itself on helping students amplify their voice by giving students the opportunity to host their own radio show for listeners to enjoy,” said junior Tanner Sullivan, the student programming director at WNTI. “The station currently offers a multitude of programs including, music hours, sports podcasts, talk shows, and more.” 

This semester’s spirit week was a great way for all Centenary students to join clubs!
