The Cabinet to schedule finals week events

November 15, 2019 by Andrew Toothman

The Cabinet will host five events this semester, including Silent Disco, back by popular demand.

The Cabinet is a university funded student organization that organizes and hosts events for students to get better connected with one another in a fun community environment.

Events hosted by The Cabinet are free to students, but most are first come first serve. The first event is sunset painting on Nov. 17. This event will be limited to the first 50 students and will be held at the Grace Museum. Food, paint and canvases will be provided.

A hypnotist will be coming to Abilene for the next event on Nov. 21. This event’s location has yet to be announced.

The next event will be a showing of Frozen 2 at 2 p.m. on Nov. 23 at the Cinemark Abilene and XD movie theater located near Buffalo Wild Wings. Tickets will be first come first serve. The Cabinet will release clues on this event on their Instagram.

Libby Schwalb, a senior child and family services major from Nashville, TN, and cabinet member, said she is looking forward to the Silent Disco event on Dec. 6 because she is one of the directors in charge of the event. Silent Disco will start at 10 p.m. and will be held in Teague Special Events Center. There will be 300 headsets ready for this event. 

“I am always excited about Silent Disco, but this year I am partnering up with other cabinet members to run this event.” Schwald said. “I mostly love seeing people get involved into these free events for students, especially freshmen. All of our cabinet members are different with different ideas on how to have fun, so the variety of these events are fun.”

The last event is on Dec. 9, which is Dead Day, and The Cabinet will be hosting a spa day at the Hunter Welcome Center for students to come relax before finals. The spa event will be from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Students can find more information on these events on The Cabinet’s Instagram page @ACUCabinet.
