#UMonument

live in the moment
create a monument

 

  Contexts for Classics  presents...

 

Imagine this: You're standing in front of Angell Hall at night. It's the last day of classes, and you're wondering what to do before you have to get serious studying for exams the next day. Then, suddenly, lasers light up the eight massive Doric columns framing the front portico of Angell Hall. Wild dance music starts playing, an eight student K-Pop dance troupe appears in sync between the columns, and a live female DJ -- elevated twenty feet in the air -- entertains hundreds of students and community members dancing under the stars! Add free Sweetwaters Lemon Ginger Tea for the first 500 dancers... Now you are experiencing the first ever U-Monument! That sounds crazy, right? But that's exactly what's happening on Tuesday, April 22, 2014, from 9-10:30pm in front of Angell Hall (435 S. State Street).*
