On April 1, the Red Glasses Movement at Oakland University (RGM)<\/a> hosted a game night from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. in the Ambassador Room B at the Oakland Center, bringing students together for a fun evening of socializing and building connections through games.<\/p>\n

Music played throughout the night as students gathered around rows of tables, jumping into games like Uno and choosing from a variety of other options.<\/p>\n

While some students already knew each other, the event also provided an opportunity to meet someone new.<\/p>\n

Students chatted and enjoyed food as the evening continued, while others learned how to play Uno, creating a relaxed atmosphere where attendees were able to unwind from the day.<\/p>\n

The RGM at OU is a student chapter that aims to inspire students to care for others and create a positive impact on campus.<\/p>\n

Savannah Manjo, president of RGM, said the organization centers around spreading positivity and building community.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Red Glasses Movement honestly has a couple of missions, I would say, the big main mission is to live boldly, love big, and pass it along,\u201d Manjo said.<\/p>\n

Manjo added that the event puts the organization\u2019s mission into action by bringing students together in a positive and engaging environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all about spreading positivity, being kind, and having fun,\u201d Manjo said. \u201cAnd this is a great way to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

That sense of energy and interaction was clear throughout the night as students spent time together and got to know one another.<\/p>\n

Brooke Hermiz, volunteer coordinator for the Red Glasses Movement, said the event also strengthens relationships among students.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that this is good for team bonding and it kind of stands for exactly what the Red Glasses Movement really wants everyone to do, which is just spread kindness,\u201d Hermiz said.<\/p>\n

Students who attended highlighted the welcoming environment and opportunity to meet new people.<\/p>\n

Malana Yousif, an attendee, said the event was an easy decision because of her personal connections to the club.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy friends run the club, so it was easy to come,\u201d Yousif said. \u201cI really love their movement.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yousif said spending time with friends made the time especially enjoyable.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really like hanging out with my friends and playing cards with them, it\u2019s so fun,\u201d Yousif said<\/p>\n

Micheal Zysnarski, an attendee, said the welcoming environment and purpose behind the organization encouraged him to attend.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know the people are great people,\u201d Zysnarski said. \u201cI know they\u2019re here for a great cause.<\/p>\n

Zysnarski said that past experiences with the organization have been positive and inviting.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery event that I\u2019ve gone to, it\u2019s been a great event,\u201d Zysnarski said. \u201c It\u2019s been welcoming and just what they stand for, I just respect a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zysnarski said meeting new people was a highlight of the game night.<\/p>\n

\u201cI met some people that didn\u2019t even know this was the right room, but enjoyed it a lot,\u201d Zysnarski said.<\/p>\n

The game night offered students a chance to step away from their daily routines, enjoy food, have fun, and build relationships, further fostering a strong sense of community on campus.<\/p>\n
