SHELTON STATE COMMUNITY COLLEGE HOSTS FALL TAILGATE

Tuscaloosa, Alabama – Shelton State Community College hosted a College-wide Fall Tailgate on Thursday, November 10 on the Fredd Campus. The event allowed students, faculty, and staff to connect outside the typical classroom and office settings and engage in a relaxed and entertaining environment.

Similar to the previously held Spring Fling and Summer Chill, the Fall Tailgate had activities scheduled throughout the day, and participants enjoyed free food and games.

“I am very impressed with the turnout for the Fall Tailgate and the support we received from local businesses,” said NorQuina Rieves, Student Engagement Coordinator at Shelton State. “We had over 400 students, faculty, and staff participate in the day’s events – this is a 100% increase from our summer event! It is an exciting time for our campus community.”

The Office of Student Engagement coordinates a College-wide event each semester. For more information on these events and student organization projects, contact NorQuina Rieves at nrieves@sheltonstate.edu.
