Welcome Week party at the Ping Center’s front lawn

All Ohio University students are invited to an evening of fun, food and games at the Party at Ping.

The Party at Ping will take place Saturday, Aug. 20, from 6 – 9 p.m. on the Ping Center front lawn, which will be arranged with exciting activities designed to keep attendees entertained into the night. 

This year, head organizer Meagan Day says participants have a lot to look forward to.  

“There will be food and drinks from local vendors, entertainment and games including DJ Aroc, a photobooth, caricature and henna artists, inflatables and yard games,” Day said. “Students will also have the chance to challenge President Sherman to a rock-paper-scissors contest!”

To wrap up the evening, beginning at 8 p.m. there will be a special, up-close showcase performed by the Marching 110. 

University Well-Being and Recreation hosts this event as a part of OHIO Welcome Week to provide students the opportunity to meet, interact, mingle and engage with fellow students in a fun, outdoor setting. All students are invited to grab some food, play some games and hangout all while enjoying great local music. 

There is no prior registration necessary; drop by anytime to see all that Party at Ping has to offer.
