With homecoming week in full swing, “Hoot-a-Palooza” was held at the Town Center Mall on Wednesday, Oct. 12.
The affair has businesses ranging from Aunt Annie’s pretzel to Aveda, each giving away different coupons and offers for their stores.
Frank Arthur, a junior business management major, said that he found the festival “pretty interesting.”
Another student, junior math major Frankie Figueroa, enjoys the doting by the businesses.
“I actually work at the mall and I’ve been here before, and it’s a pretty awesome event,” Figueroa said. “You get free stuff.”
Kennesaw State has held “Hoot-a-Palooza” for eight years now. It is a great place for student-run organizations and local businesses to reach out to the student body.
“It’s been a bit busy, but it’s great because we’re able to reach out to a lot of students, especially third- and fourth-year,” said Pierrette Maillet, a KSU alumnus. “Many of the students don’t actually know that once you graduate, you automatically become a part of the alumni association.”
The event attracted many different student organizations and clubs, ranging from the women’s basketball team to the College Libertarians of KSU.
“We don’t always have an outreach when we’re on The Campus Green, so this is a great opportunity to reach out to our fellow students,” said sophomore political science major Javid Ona, a member of College Libertarians of KSU.
Hoot-a-Palooza was a heavily attended event that taught students about the organizations and clubs that their university has to offer, and the special offers local businesses have available.
