(Voghel-Ochs, Sydney R)

WATERBURY - The Student Government Association (SGA) of Naugatuck Valley Community College (NVCC) has planned a full week of student activities to mark the opening of the fall semester. Classes begin on Thursday, August 26, and the events start at the beginning of the week.

On Monday, August 23, the SGA will host a “Kahoot” Trivia Night via TEAMS. Both the TEAMS app and the “Kahoot” app are free and must be downloaded to participate in this and many of other SGA fun activities. During Trivia Night students will be challenged to answer questions about the College, testing their knowledge of the college resources. Many of the answers can be found in the Orientation modules that have been e-mailed to students! Kahoot Trivia winners will receive Amazon gift cards. Students can join the event here. https://tinyurl.com/4x37mtxx

Karen Blake, Director of Student Activities, commented that her office and the SGA have been “working tirelessly” to organize a fall schedule of activities to engage students every day during the first week of classes. “These activities will promote campus community and the kind of fun that students will remember. We are so excited to have our students back on campus this fall!”
