On Wednesday, February 14, 2018, PIVOT hosted their Valentine’s Day Potluck in their office located on the third floor of the Flawn Sciences Building. The event was scheduled from 12pm to 2pm, but it was such a success that it lasted a little longer than planned. Since it was a potluck, a vast majority of the people that attended brought a dish, which resulted in a plethora of food. There was pizza, chicken, fries, jalapeno poppers, cake, and so much more. During the potluck, the First To go and Graduate mentors hosted a raffle in which the winner received a gift basket with a variety of different candy and treats for Valentine’s Day. It only costed one dollar to enter the drawing and the winner was one of RTE’s lead mentors, Diana Dimitriu. Although there was a lot of food, there were other activities available. The mentors set up a cookie decorating table where anyone could decorate heart shaped sugar cookies with red, pink, and white icing. Also, the event attendees were able to create Valentine’s Day cards and even sign the wall with what they love the most. The event was meant to serve as a great social and networking event that allowed mentees, mentors, and faculty and staff to get to know one another and have fun in the process. All in all, the event was a success.
