🎃👻 What a BOO-tiful day at WNC! 🧡🦇
ASWN’s Boo Bash brought a record number of faculty, students and staff to the Student Center today as they enjoyed Halloween fun, treats and spooky surprises. From Frights, Bites and C***r Delights to making diamond art coasters, creating lava lamps and carving pumpkins, our Wildcats had plenty of ways to celebrate. 🍎✨
And the fun didn’t stop there! Students enjoyed a Wingstop lunch, picked up Boo Baskets and indulged in the wickedly delicious Drizzle of Doom (a fountain dessert bar featuring caramel apples). 🍏🍫
A huge THANK YOU to our amazing ASWN members for putting together such a fang-tastic Halloween celebration for our campus community! 🧡
Happy Halloween, Wildcats! Have a spook-tacular day! 🎃

It all begins with Frights, Bites and C***r Delights at 9 a.m. Enjoy hauntingly delicious cinnamon rolls and c***r. At 10 a.m., become Bedazzled and Bewitched in making your own Halloween-themed diamond art coaster. An hour later, make your own lava lamp.
At noon, give your brain a break and enjoy a Wingstop lunch and pick up a Boo Basket. Then, it's time to unleash your inner Halloween Picasso by carving your very own pumpkin.
What else could you possible expect from a Halloween party? How about the Drizzle of Doom?It's a fountain dessert bar with wickedly delicious caramel apples.

ASWN'S Nevada Day Celebration rocked today in the Dini Student Center! Although it came four days earlier than the state's celebration marking its 162nd birthday, students, faculty and staff found the student government event to be a fantastic precursor.
Attendees enjoyed decorating their own Silver State cowboy hats and Battle Born bandanas, shaping geodes in a Nevada Rocks activity, and consuming bagels, Basque chorizos and refreshments. President Dr. J. Kyle Dalpe took time out of his busy schedule to serve lunch to the hungry celebrants. 🥯
WNC has another opportunity to collectively celebrate Nevada Day at the Nevada Day Parade on Saturday morning.
Happy Nevada Day!

🎙️ Meet Wildcat Bytes, the snack-sized podcast spinoff of Wildcat Connection.
Looking for a quick listen between classes, during your lunch break or while you’re on the go? Wildcat Bytes deliver short, engaging conversations about the topics affecting WNC and higher education, without the extended commitment. ⏱️
The long-form Wildcat Connection podcast is still going strong, but these shorter episodes give WNC instructors, administrators, staff and students a chance to share their expertise, experiences and perspectives in 30 minutes or less. 🎧
So far, podcast hosts Josh Fleming and Ryan Johnson have served up six Bytes, exploring the ever-evolving world of artificial intelligence:
🤖 Dr. Christian Copley-Salem and Joseph Bell: The professors share their perspectives on AI in higher education.
💻 Tony Spiker: The Information Technology professor discusses the AI he developed for his own classroom.
🎓 Gretchen Stanerson: The Academic Planning Administrator’s perspective on what AI means for college administrators and student support.
🧬 Rachelle Bassen: The Biology professor talks about how AI is changing her teaching style and classroom experience.
♿ Susan Trist: The Director of Disability Support Services explores how AI can be used to support students with disabilities.
🎙️ And there’s more to come. Wildcat Bytes are designed to keep the conversation going with quick, fun and thought-provoking discussions about college life and the issues shaping higher education.
Find the latest episodes through WNC’s Center for Teaching Excellence and grab a quick listen whenever you have 30 minutes or less: https://wnc.edu/center-for-teaching-excellence/bytes.
