The Emporia State Social Challenge group is putting on one last hurrah for students. Registration ends Friday, May 2.
The Social Challenge group was put together by sophomore communication major Taylor Weisman. Weisman sought out a group that would help him to be more involved on campus, but then decided that he would go ahead and make one himself.
The Social Olympics will consist of volleyball, dodgeball, ultimate frisbee, relays, basketball and a few other games. The event will cost $5 per person, with 80 percent of the proceeds going to support the Special Olympics of Kansas, and the remaining percentage will cover the cost of putting the event together.
According to Weisman, this is the second time his group has tried to get this event going, with little success so far.
“This is the second year we’re trying it out, and we only got two teams last year. So far we have zero teams,” Weisman said.
In order for the event to be a success, Weisman said that they need at least six different teams of people, and those teams can consist of five to 10 individuals.
In order to register, pick up a team form at the CSI front desk. Applications can be dropped of at any social challenge table in the Memorial Union or to Weisman.
