GET A TASTE FOR COLLEGE
Annual Dana College event
introduces 1-8 graders to college life
Dana College will host its annual Kids on the Hill
event at 8 a.m., Sept. 27, on the college’s campus in Blair,
Neb. The event is designed to introduce first through eighth graders
to what college life is like in a fun morning of events. Kids on
the Hill is free to all participants, and parents are strongly encouraged
to attend with their children.
Registration begins at 8 a.m. in the Borup Coliseum
Addition. At 8:30 a.m., there will be a fun run/walk on the Addition’s
new walking track or on the track surrounding Viking Field. Registration
ends at 9 a.m. All participants’ parents must sign a permission
form during the registration time.
On a campus tour provided by Dana Diplomats, kids
get to see what a college looks like, from multimedia classrooms
to real residence hall rooms. Head Men’s Basketball Coach
Chris Fear will teach a short clinic on basketball. Participants
will be divided by age and the clinic is designed to be fun for
all interest levels and abilities. Members of the Dana College Theatre
will help kids get in touch with their thespian sides in a special
session. All participants will also build their own web page they
can show friends later.
A free lunch is provided for all Kids on the Hill
participants, catered by Dana’s award-winning food services.
During lunch, Student Activities Director Lisha Palm will host a
special fun event similar to the kinds of events hosted by Student
Activities for real Dana students.
