The Student Activities Board (SAB) is hosting their annual Spring Fling on April 29th, 2023. The Spring Fling concert will be taking place April 29th at 7pm in the SUNY Cortland Park Center ice arena. The concert will be neon and glow theme. Leading up to this concert, SAB has planned a whole week of fun activities.
Students Thoughts
How do students feel about Young Gravy being the featured artist?
Shea Edelman, a junior, stated “Young Gravy is wack. I wanted A Boogie.”
Kelsie Bushart, a junior, shared her thoughts, “I don’t know who the artist is.”
Callie Winn, a junior, stated “I am excited to have a big artist like Yung Gravy. It shows me that SUNY Cortland cares to listen to students and their interests”
As you can see, there are mixed reviews from students about the artist. That is to be expected because it is hard to get a whole university to agree on an artist.
Are students Excited about Spring Fling?
Gianna McGown, a first semester student here at SUNY Cortland, shared, “I’m so excited for my first Spring Fling and the week of events.”
Junior, Haley Ferrara stated that Spring Fling is “so fun and funky fresh.”
Cassandra Bayles, a Junior shared, “I went to the carnival last year, it was actually fun and I’m excited for it this year.”
Bushart also shared “I’ve never been before, but I am on SAB and so excited.”
