"This is a great opportunity for clubs to fund raise," Rachel Moss, administrative assistant for student life, said.
Along with fundraising, which is the main goal of Coyote Day, this also gives student organizations the opportunity to engage in fellowship with their members and network with other clubs while having fun. They are also there to provide information about their organization to attendees wanting to know the main objective of their club.
The Liberty Club sold tickets for a shot at dunking one of their volunteers in a large dunking booth. The Liberty Club promotes their willingness to want to educate students on South campus.
"We have both conservative and liberal views," Jonathan Copper, president of the Liberty Club, said. "We want to make the student population more intelligent when it comes to politics."
The Anime Brigade Club sold bowls of beef and shrimp noodles.
"We talk about Anime and cartoons, and we watch different videos," Alexandria Cruz-Petri, Anime Club member, said. "We have a lot of fun."
More than 15 student organizations participated in the Coyote Day festivities. The large events such as the jousting and dunking booth were hosted by Student Life for the clubs to use and gain a profit without the organization office receiving a cut.
Inside the Student Center, there was a large dome shaped igloo balloon set up for students to enter. Inside, the walls and ceiling were covered in psychedelic laser computerized art that gave the appearance of an alternate universe.
"I kind of felt like I was falling down," Brittany Carroll, cosmetology student, said. "I was pretty dizzy."
Rachel Moss, administrative assistant, said she was happy with the event and looks forward to next year's Coyote Day.
