Mount welcomes spring with petting zoo, block party, and more

Mount Saint Mary College celebrated the end of another successful academic year with its annual Spring Week, a collection of fun events to help students de-stress before finals.

The college kicked things off on Tuesday, April 22 with an on-campus petting zoo, which included chickens, goats, cows, and other farm animals. The event was hosted by the Student Government Association (SGA) Senate and featured adorable animals from BeaverWood Farm in Swan Lake, N.Y. 

Later in the week, the Mount community had a great time at a splatter paint room, hosted by SGA and the Mount Activities Programming Board (MAP). After suiting up to protect their clothes and strapping on a pair of goggles, up to four students at a time entered a pop-up “splatterhouse” and made a mess of the walls – and their friends – with a variety of neon paints. 

Spring Week ended with a bang at the Office of Student Success (OSS) and SGA Block Party, which included food trucks, giveaways, music, and more.
