NDSU Staff Senate is sponsoring a Valentine Ball on Saturday, Feb. 14, from 7:30 p.m. to midnight in the Memorial Union Great Plains Ballroom. The Valentine Ball will continue the tradition that was restored one year ago. According to Mike Robinson, NDSU archivist, prior to 2008, the last ball on record was held in 1923.
Students from the NDSU music department will perform and a disc jockey will play rock, hip-hop and funk music. There will be refreshments, performance dancing, door prizes and photo opportunities.
Continuing with its multigenerational and multicultural outlook, the Valentine Ball Committee is comprised of students, staff, faculty and a representative from the Alumni Center. Vance Olson and Jennifer Wu are co-chairs of the event.
Funding has been provided, in part, from the Office of the President; NDSU Staff Senate; the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences; and the Alumni Center.
Tickets are available in the Memorial Union, Alumni Center, Student Government Office and from committee members. Prices are $10 per person, $5 per student and $8 per student couple.
