On Friday, September 5th Sacred Heart University held the 14th annual President’s Gala. Hosted by Sacred Heart President Dr John Petillo at the Martire Family Arena on West Campus, students were dressed to impress and danced the night away in the multipurpose Arena.
The event was advertised extensively for the week prior, with emails sent and posters placed throughout the main academic building. Students could register for the gala and pick up admission bracelets in the student life suite in the humanities center.
Shuttle buses leaving from Seton and Merton dorms transported SHU Students to Martire Arena starting at 6:30, where they had choice of mac and cheese bites, cupcakes and other classic snacks to eat.
Music was provided by DJ Headliner Galantis who played the classics, as well as opening DJ Tom Macari. A pleasant time was had by all attendees. “I had a good time hanging out with friends enjoying the music there and getting to meet new people”. said sophomore Alek Rencurrel.
