Credit: Patricia MarroquinBlue tickets were a hot commodity on Monday at the Library’s Wine and Cheese Reception in Davidson Library’s Mary Cheadle Room. This year, students received two tickets to claim their glasses of wine. As usual, there was plenty of cheese, crackers, and fruit; and plenty of students to consume them. The estimated crowd of about 125 people went through 48 bottles of red and white wine, according to the library.
The snacks were in abundance at a long table inside Mary Cheadle Room on the third floor of the library. Library staff members Richard Caldwell and Heather Nisen poured the vino out on the balcony.
The reception is one of several events in the Graduate Student Showcase, a two-week celebration of UCSB graduate students and their important work. Upcoming events include the GSA’s Bagel Hour on Wednesday, April 8, from 8:15 to 11:15 a.m.; and an Open Mic night, also on April 8, at Mosher Alumni House from 5 to 7 p.m. For more information, visit the GradPost’s Graduate Student Showcase page or download the Whova app.
