WCC students enjoyed games, pizza, pop and hanging out with fellow students at the “Club vs. Club” game night last week. The event was hosted by the WCC chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa honor society, and featured icebreakers, trivia, cornhole, Jenga and a variety of other games.
Matt Rosolowski joined PTK at the beginning of the Winter 2019 semester, and has been a group officer ever since. Rosolowski serves as the vice president of finance, and is responsible for putting on the Club vs. Club game night.
“This is an event to celebrate all of the people who are involved around campus,” Rosolowski said. “It’s a way to thank them for making campus life so amazing.”
Rosolowski said he joined PTK because he liked its mission and the sense of community the group brings.
Rosolowski’s favorite game of the night was PTK’s signature game called “The Great Wind Blows,” a fun spin on the musical chairs idea.

The president of the A2 Entrepreneurs Club at WCC, Olivia Habart, attended the event and enjoyed participating in the fun and games.
“It was a nice stress reliever to just play Jenga for a while,” Habart said. The A2 Entrepreneurs Club focuses on connecting WCC students with business people in the area, and the group hosts many guest speakers.
Andy Xiao is a 19-year-old nursing student who plays intramural basketball and has also been involved in other events at WCC, such as bowling and talent shows.
“If you’re ever bored, there’s always something you can do here,” Xiao said. The social events on campus provide great ways to connect and make new friends, which is “really healthy,” Xiao said.
Arts communication major Terry Jackson, 22, also plays basketball at WCC, and stopped by for the game night. Jackson has been involved in the Black Student Union and the Movement Club on campus, which combines bible study with dance.
Playing the game Kahoot! and spending time with other students was a highlight of Jackson’s evening, who enjoys the social aspect of life at WCC and building connections with people.
“It’s been a really fun night, it’s a great energy to be around,” said Jackson.
A member of PTK for two semesters, Jason Bernardino is a 21-year-old marketing major and the officer of communications at PTK.
Bernardino said that becoming part of the club really helped him develop his leadership skills and be involved on campus, and he encourages other students to get involved as well.
“Don’t be shy. Be yourself; go ahead and find a group of people who have similar interests to you,” Bernardino said.
