Enticed by “stuffies” and freebies, about 50 students gathered on the back patio of The Madigan Library on a recent sunny September Sunday.

Hosted by the Office of Student Engagement, this “Sunday Funday” was a winner for students, offering the opportunity to make a stuffed animal (ideal for cuddling or gift-giving) and score prizes. Each plush toy came with a tag revealing hidden surprises, including a bingo voucher, movie ticket or smoothie coupon.
