The fire alarm bells started ringing. Student and Staff had to evacuate the Plaza for safety reasons. The firefighters trucks arrived to campus in response to the fire alarm system call.

The event was resumed and everyone was excited for the party to continue.


- On Thursday, June 4, I arrived at the SEC Plaza at 11 a.m. to capture the set up of the event. Fortunately, the weather was nice and warm, which encouraged students to stop by at the plaza after finishing their academics. The #beBeaverBold block party started at noon when the food lines opened; free beef and vegetarian hot dogs, fresh fruit, and sodas were given to students. The SEC plaza was filled up with tables from OSU departments and student organizations. Most of the tables had interactive activities with giveaways. Trifold, flyers, and posters were presented with information about the mission, vision, and successes of the school year for ach organization.

The student performances and awards started at 1p.m. Acapela groups and salsa dancers had amazing performances that kept students engaged and satisfied with the event. Unfortunately, at 1:30 p.m. the fire alarm started beeping and everyone had to evacuate the Plaza. At first, people were worried about their safety but later they were told that everything was fine.

The event resumed after twenty minutes from the fire alarm accident. So, everyone went back to the canopy and the party continued. One of the mail goals of the #beBeaverBold block party was to leave in students an interest for community involvement and active participation on campus.
