6:30 PM | Free Pizza in Seawolf Plaza
7 PM | Comedy Show begins in the Student Center Ballroom

FREE dinner and a show, and what a show it will be! Preacher is best known for his appearance on season 12 of NBC’s hit series, America’s Got Talent (2017) where he made it to the final rounds. Based on his stellar performance in season 12, Preacher was invited to compete on America’s Got Talent: The Champions (2019) and Britain’s Got Talent: The Champions (2019) where he advanced to the finale after he received the most votes from the fans. Preacher covers everything from oversharing about losing a million dollars to a child, his grandma who takes praying to the next level, peeing his pants, and even being vegan. His fast paced humor, body language, brilliant observations, and more will have you laughing from beginning to end. And did we mention that his mom is the opener?!

The biggest student event of the year returns bigger and better than ever! Featuring authentic carnival rides, games, prizes, food and attractions just like you see at county fairs. There will also be music by DJ CLos, laser tag, a petting zoo, and local community businesses who want to welcome our Seawolves back. Big Nite also serves as our first Club Fair of the Year! You will have the opportunity to meet some of the 100 SSU campus clubs and organizations that we have on campus. And let’s not forget about the free munchies including Kona Shaved Ice, Dippin Dots, popcorn, funnel cakes, pizza, and so much more! Your SSU student ID gets you a Big Nite wristband for free access to all the rides and attractions. Be there! For any questions or accommodations, contact mo.phillips@sonoma.edu or atkinsm@sonoma.edu.

Due to the nature of the Big Nite event this is an SSU student event only.

Join world famous mentalist duo Jeff and Tessa Evason for mind-blowing feats of telepathy and ESP that’ll have you buzzing long after the show ends. Everyone who participates will be absolutely floored when Tessa reveals their birth date, a serial number on any bill in their wallet, or even the name of the first person they ever kissed—all while standing blindfolded on stage. Her intuitive gifts will make you gasp with surprise and maybe even unleash a spooked-out shriek! Get there early as this show typically sells out!  For more information contact mo.phillips@sonoma.edu.

Join us for this event designed to entertain, engage, create shared experiences and to provide you with an idea of some of the things we do here at SSU! We will have things to do in every Nook and Cranny of the Student Center, including live music, trivia, crafts, food, games, Build a Bear, a scavenger hunt, a game room, and if you are looking, you can even find a job at this event! But wait, that’s not all! Check out the Seawolf Plaza as well for some Mario Kart on the big screen and some food from some of our favorite local hot spots. We can’t wait to show you that everyday is a great day to be a Seawolf! For more information contact huttonc@sonoma.edu.

The Recreation Center will also be open to showcase their climbing wall, spaces and programs. Stop by to work out, play some badminton, shoot some hoops, check out the Outdoor Resource Center, or the Fall Intramurals and Outdoor Pursuits Trip options! Contact lauren.lane@sonoma.edu for more information.

Potentia means potential, but also is derived from the word power. This event is about celebrating the sun setting on one chapter of your life and rising on another! Celebrating the idea that with this new chapter, we have the potential to create and/or recreate ourselves and that the power of one, or of a community, to make change and affect the experience of others, is present. This event is about welcoming the new students to campus, but is also about our returning community members coming together with them to commit to Excellence, Integrity, Respect and Responsibility. Come as you are, leave a Seawolf!
