Midnight MAACness Goes Bronc Wild

Members of the Emerging Leaders and Rider's house directors, got into the spirit of “Midnight MAACness Goes Bronc Wild”; on Friday, October 12. Through the efforts of the office of Campus Life (OCL), Student Entertainment Council (SEC), Student Government Association (SGA), Athletics and the Emerging Leaders, the Alumni Gym and the Athletics Hall of Fame area in the SRC were converted into the “Broncs ZOO," complete with a working fountain, park benches, animal cages and a rainforest hallway. Students packed Alumni Gym for Midnight MAACness, a widely popular Rider tradition held each year to showcase the start of the basketball season and features a three-point shootout and dunk contest by the teams, as well as performances by Rider's cheerleaders and dance team, free food and lots of giveaways.
