Kwantlen becomes a club for a night

As part of the 2009 spring semester Welcome Week, the Kwantlen Student Association will present its first-ever Underground Club Night.

From 6-10 p.m. Friday (Jan. 16), Dj Flip out and C Stylez of The Beat 94.5 will be spinning hip-hop, rap, and top-40 tunes in the Grassroots Café at Kwantlen’s Surrey campus, which will be transformed into a nightclub atmosphere with lights, drapery and a smoke machine. The venue will also have a licensed area on the patio, which will be tented and heated.

Cover is $5 for residents and non-Kwantlen students and free for students with a Kwantlen ID card.

The KSA has been working on the event with James Menear from Precision Entertainment, who also worked with the on Cram Jam, and DJs, equipment, and decorations have been supplied by Galactic Entertainment.

“If all goes as planned, this event will be at most, exactly on budget and possibly under-budget,” said Vanessa Knight, KSA director of events. “We are hoping that this event will set a precedent for high quality, well-budgeted events in the KSA’s future.”
