Dawgs After Dark continued on Saturday with a movie night at the Dawg House in the Colvard Student Union.
The film “Marshall,” which stars Chadwick Boseman as Thurgood Marshall, Josh Gad as Sam Friedman, Sterling K. Brown as Joseph Spell, Dan Stevens as Loren Willis and James Cromwell as Judge Foster.
James Cromwell is best known for playing farmer Arthur H. Hoggett in the movie “Babe.”
A large number of students attended the event where popcorn, cookies and drinks were available to enjoy with the movie. Door prizes were given to those whose names were drawn.
“Marshall” kept students on the edge of their seats.
Asia Duren, a graduate assistant from the Center for Student Activities said there was a good message behind the film, that people can do anything they set their minds to.
Duren said the Center for Student Activities decided to host a movie night “to have something fun and relaxing to watch, rather than something more involved like the past Dawgs After Dark events which were more intense events.”
Duren said she “loved the movie, the cast was great, and it was a thrilling movie.”
Duren said she believes the movie night and other Dawgs After Dark events are a great opportunity for students.
“Dawgs After Dark is important for students who live on campus, or any student who doesn’t always get to home every weekend or whatever the reason might be, and it’s a better alternative to spending money out in the town,” Duren said. “Students aren’t coming to the events by themselves, increasingly, students are coming to the events each weekend students are bringing along their friends and even classmates”
The next Dawgs After Dark event is Futsal Friday at 7 p.m. in the Sanderson and an Olympic opening ceremony from 8 to 10 p.m. in the Griffis Forum. For more information on any of these events, check OrgSync or social media.
