Students gather in the cafeteria for the JEDI Alliance game night.

From 4-6:30 PM on Tuesday, October 21, the Mat-Su College JEDI Alliance Club hosted a game night. The event was open to all students, staff, and faculty.

Participants brought a wide variety of games, from I'm George Gobel to Cards Against Humanity, and plenty more. Home Style Plus, the restaurateurs that operate the campus cafeteria, catered the event with a veritable smorgasbord.

The event was so well-attended that the JEDI Alliance Club is already thinking ahead to their next game night event.

JEDI stands for Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. Though the University of Alaska Board of Regents demanded the removal of the words diversity, equity, and inclusion from University webpages, student clubs remain free to use those words.

See the JEDI Alliance Club webpage for more information on the club.
