Mustang Basketball to Host Faculty/Staff Night

STEVENSON, Md. - Students, faculty and staff of Stevenson University as well as fans and alumni are encouraged to come and support the men's and women's basketball teams on Wednesday, January 21 for Faculty and Staff Night when the Mustangs host a CAC contest with Hood.

The women face the Blazers at 6:00 p.m., before the men's game at 8:00 p.m. Both games will take place in Student Union Gymnasium on the Greenspring campus. Tickets are just $5 for adults and FREE for students, faculty and staff with their Stevenson ID. Students in eighth grade or under are also FREE.

During the game, Stevenson's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee will be handing out tickets to all students for a free bag of popcorn and a bottled water. During half time of the women's game, SAAC we will sponsor a hot spot shooting competition and a tug of war competition between games.

Representatives from Stevenson's 17 intercollegiate teams will be judged by the most spirited team area. Each team will be judged on the percentage of participation, decoration and school spirit during the games. Teams should bring materials to support the basketball teams to decorate where they are sitting.

SAAC will be handing out prizes for the competitions and the most spirted award as well as distributing special NCAA and Stevenson basketball t-shirts.

The Stevenson cheerleading team will also perform during halftime of the men's game.

The faculty and staff event includes FREE pizza and sodas on the upper level of the Student Union from 5:00 p.m., to 7:00 p.m., as well as a special men's halftime performance by a step team from Baltimore area students in the Knowledge is Power Program (KIPP).

KIPP is a national network of free, open-enrollment, college-preparatory public schools with a track record of preparing students in underserved communities for success in college and in life. There are currently 66 KIPP schools in 19 states and the District of Columbia serving over 16,000 students.

As an incentive, the office or department with the most attendees wins breakfast.

In addition, students can buy raffle tickets for the "Be President For a Day" contest during both games. The winner will have the chance to be President Manning for a day and he would be them for a day, attending their classes, eating in the dining hall, etc.

Raffle tickets will be available for just $5 and all proceeds will go directly to Stevenson's Alternative Spring Break trip to New Orleans where students will work with the Saint Bernard Project to rebuild homes damages by Hurricane Katrina.
