The Campus Activities Board hosted its annual Winter Fest this past Thursday night. Moody Coliseum was filled with students dancing during a silent disco. The first 200 students received hot chocolate from Monks Coffee Shop, and the first 100 lined the sidewalk for free tacos provided by El Texico food truck.
