Steak Dinner 2010

Local businesses donate their time cooking steaks for hungry freshmen and fill the early evening sky with the smell of sizzling meat.

Joshua Hultberg (L) listens intently. In the background James Stone leans in. Meanwhile, Augustus West shares a conversation with Leigan Bower. In the foreground, Aerriel Collins eyes the camera.

Augustus West makes a point as he tries to convince freshmen to vote for him.

Hayden Kopplin addresses the crowd asking for votes in his run for the Freshman Senate.

A large contingent of honors students stop what they're doing and look at the camera. Clockwise from left are Leigan Bower, Augustus West, Zachary Pinson, Keifer Cooley, Courtney Van Camp, somebody wearing a hat (help, Lilli Hollensworth?), Michaela Dison, Sarah Person, Laura Mosely, and Kody Kasper.


International students (clockwise from L) Navendra Rai, Pui Tan, Gloria Lee, and Evgeniya Miloshova pose and pause before digging into their steaks.


The annual freshman steak dinner took place tonight at the Rider Rink and Honors College was well represented. Alex Wynn gave a mini stemwinder but held the crowd in his hands. I've already signed on as his campaign manager after he graduates :-)

  1. The steak dinner turned out to be alot more fun than I thought.. Gus (Augustus West) gave a surprisingly good speech for one that was memorized. :D And Alex Wynn ((some might remember him as Sturgeous)), as usual, captivated the crowd with his stupendous speech.. I'm not saying anything for sure, but these two have a good chance of being our Freshman Senators.. :D
