On Valentine’s Day, February 14th, a Build-A-Bear free giveaway hosted by the University Programming Board took place right outside the Student Union, with many students waiting in line.

The event was planned to start at noon but by 11:45 am, a super long line had already formed.

The staff passed out Free Build-A-Bear animals ranging from four animals: a Lion, a Bear, a Dog, and Elephants, in addition to a brown paper bag containing the stuffing for the animal, an adoption certificate, and two small shirts for the animal.

The Build-A-Bear Event was a huge success, with students walking away with smiles and joy.
