                  The Clubbies created a beautiful afternoon of celebration, recognition and friendly competition.<\/p>\n

                  \u201cI\u2019m super proud of them,\u201d Mya Lawrence, Student Life and Leadership Development Manager, said.<\/p>\n

                  Lawrence helped organize the funding side of things for the event, but Tony Wong and Natalie Koenig put together the entire event.<\/p>\n

                  \u201cThat\u2019s what the Clubbies is\u2013to celebrate them,\u201d Wong, Co-chair of Student Senate, said.<\/p>\n

                  The celebration during the event was clearly evident in each cheer-filled announcement. LUNA left with two awards, one for Outstanding Student Organization and the other for their service project, \u201cThe Asylum Clinic KC.\u201d<\/p>\n

                  \u201cWe\u2019re just a club [that] showcases our culture [and] shares [it] with other people. We\u2019ve done a lot of collaborations with BSU, so that\u2019s been a great partnership, and I think it\u2019s a good way where we\u2019re able to connect and find out similarities. Even though we have different backgrounds, we\u2019ll find different ways where we can connect,\u201d David Gabaldon, LUNA\u2019s advisor, said.<\/p>\n

                  Wong and Koenig hope to see the Clubbies continue to grow. To nominate individuals, clubs or organizations for the Clubbies, you do not need to be a part of the club or organization. So when nominations open again, make sure to nominate those hard-working individuals or clubs on campus that deserve to be recognized.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
