Seminole Gives Warm Welcome Back on Cold Days

SPC Programs & Events January 26, 2016 , by

St. Petersburg College Seminole campus welcomes back students with music, contests, and a free box lunch during a freezing second week of classes on January 19th, and 20th.

The Welcome Back celebration provides an opportunity for students to get to know clubs, student organizations and service providers on campus in fall and spring terms. Upon signing in with their ID, students received a goody bag, a ticket for a free boxed lunch, and were entered into a raffle for gift cards from Fandango, Chick-Fil-A, and Target courtesy of the campus Student Government Association. This year’s Welcome Back brought new faces and old favorites to club row.
