We are so happy to host the first one of the year tonight and just have everyone come out for a night of fun,\u201d Student Body President, Blake Elizalde said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Open Mic Night is a two hour long event. From 8-10 p.m. students are given an opportunity to showcase their vocal talents. The sign up is easy. Just show up and visit the table and write down a name to secure a spot on the performance line up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hannah Decriscio, senior at Gardner-Webb, attends just about every Open Mic Night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\u201cI think Student Engagement should continue to host Open Mic Night because it truly brings all of the students here closer together for a night of fun. It allows us to forget about the stress of being in school by giving us a break from studying,\u201d said Decriscio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next Open Mic Night will be the last Wednesday in September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Debut of the student-produced GWU Today Newscast 12\/2\/2022\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YmBTPx-L1Sc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>By Eriana Meadows Student Government Association hosted Open Mic Night Wednesday Aug. 31.
