Spin art with frisbees was brought to campus by Student Involvement, allowing students to create their own unique and colorful frisbees on Friday, March 8th, from 5-7 p.m. in the Glass Foyer.

Participating members could choose any of the given paint colors, apply the paint on the frisbee, watch their frisbee spin, and then see the resulting design.

Freshman Julia Groll said, “It was fun being able to decorate my own frisbee, I had never seen it done that way before.”

When applying the colors on the frisbee, there was no guarantee of what the final product would look like. Each one came out with a different pattern and color mixture.

Once the frisbee was done spinning it took roughly 10 minutes for the paint to dry, giving students time to get a bite to eat in the cafeteria.

Junior Jennifer Iozzi said, “I enjoyed this activity because it was quick and I also left with something I will be able to use for a long time.” When Student Involvement posted about the event on Raven Nation they stated that they would love to see the frisbees flying around campus in the spring.

This upcoming Friday, March 15th, there will be no Frankie P. Friday event because of Spring Break. When students return to campus the next Frankie P. Friday event will be held from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the Glass Foyer to make a free t-shirt.

There is a crisis of trust in journalism right now. Many Americans say they don’t trust the news media
anymore, and poll after poll shows that they want newspapers to be more transparent about how the
news is gathered. This semester the Exchange is asking its reporters to describe what they did to report the facts, in what
we’re calling a transparency statement. We ask our readers to feel free to use the comment boxes at
the bottom of each article to call them out when the reporters may not have done enough and to
compliment them when you think they’ve done a good job.
To begin writing this article I went to the Glass Foyer while the spin art station was set up. I myself painted a frisbee and also saw other students doing the same. I then asked two students in person while I was there about their experience and what comments they had about the activity.

    Fun article! It’s always nice to read about non-traditional events taking place on campus. Great to also hear about events that are available to anyone, regardless of age, athletic/artistic ability, etc. A nice venue for students to come together and make new friends!
