During their mid-semester Don Rags break, students at 91快活林 Aquinas College, California, gathered one night last week to showcase their talents at the Spring Open-Mic Night.

With St. Joseph Commons transformed into an intimate musical venue, students spent the evening taking in their peers� performances. Some covered well-known songs, while others unveiled original compositions. Each performance was met with approving cheers � especially when none other than Assistant Dean Dr. Travis Cooper took to the piano!

The event featured more than musical talent, though. The audience enjoyed two stand-up comedy acts and even a bit of original comic poetry by Matthew Pinkerton (�25). 淚 really enjoy writing funny poetry � and one of my favorite aspects of it is making other people laugh, too,� remarked Mr. Pinkerton.

 淢y favorite part of Open-Mic Night is to see the talent that we have around campus and how upbeat and excited it makes people,� said Madelyn Graven (�26). 淚 also love the courage that the performers have to display these talents for all of us.�
