UTA will take students back in time with the Rollerskate Throwback event from 4 to 7 p.m. Friday at the Maverick Activities Center in Room 133. <\/p>\n

Hosted by EXCEL Campus Activities, the free event invites students to strap on skates and join an afternoon with a live DJ and 2016-themed decor. <\/p>\n

EXCEL programming director Maritza Perez said the group hopes students can get away from the stress of classes while creating community on campus. <\/p>\n

Students are encouraged to dress up like it’s 2016, but they can also dress for another era, Perez said. <\/p>\n

The first 50 guests will receive mini digital cameras. Skates will be provided, but students can bring their own as well, she said. <\/p>\n

Students can also expect snacks, drinks and a craft station at the event. <\/p>\n

\u201cStudents can just have a good time to relax after classes, away from exams and classes and stuff, make new friends,\u201d\u00a0Perez said. <\/p>\n
