Friday Nights Rock at UNK

摘要

Students at the University of Nebraska at Kearney (UNK) have a new reason to hang out on campus on Friday nights-and dining services has a new revenue source. At the start of the fall semester, dining services teamed with the university to launch Loper Live Music Nights, named after the university's mascot. Held in the student union food court, the university partners with a local company to book talent, including UNK students, for the Friday night shows. "We were pretty slow starting out," shares Mardi Engels, director of marketing for UNK Dining Services. "But we've really gained a lot of traction and promoted a lot of awareness about it and we've been getting a good crowd. The best nights have been when our own UNK students have performed."
