“Night at the Museum”

What to know for spring formal

The Student Association is proud to announce Spring Formal for March 26, 2023. The event will be held at Morrill Hall with the theme being “Night at the Museum”.

Morrill Hall is one of the premiere event locations in Lincoln. It was established in 1871 and is Nebraska’s largest natural history museum. The 70,000 square foot museum boasts many different interactive exhibits, but it’s most well-known for its iconic Elephant Hall, where you can see the world’s largest articulated fossil Columbian mammoth with other Nebraska elephant fossils. Additionally, there is a Smithsonian-inspired Visible Lab, hands-on Science Exploration Zone, and Sustainable Earth gallery with a 5-foot diameter digital globe.

Student Association Social Vice President Jacob Sanchez said, “The social committee and I started planning and viewing potential venues near the middle of last semester. Choosing the right place helps everything else come together. After viewing a few places, the vibe and potential of Morrill Hall were hard to pass up.”

The formal will feature live music and dinner, as well as time for guests to explore the exhibits.

The combination of venue and theme has many asking “what is the dress code?” The Student Association team announced that this is a formal event and you should not dress as your favorite character from the movie Night at the Museum. While that may be an idea for SA teams moving forward, that is not the goal for this year. “This is a formal event. We aren’t requiring black tie or anything crazy, but it’ll be a good time to get dressed up and have some fun.” said Sanchez.

The one contingency with the banquet this year is that there are limited spots available. There are only 200 tickets, so act quickly!
