Student Government hosted the College’s first Derby Day on the Quad last weekend. Inspired by the Kentucky Derby, the day featured students dressed in derby attire for an afternoon of food, croquet, bocce ball, corn hole, and badminton. Live music was provided by The Chorduroys and Cadence, the male and female student a cappella groups.
