Wildcats, Cocoa and Connection: Spring Student Mixer Celebrates InfoSci Community
College of Information Science undergraduate students plus Wilbur and Wilma Wildcat at the Spring 2025 InfoSci Student Mixer.
On Friday, January 31, the Bear Down Building buzzed with energy as InfoSci students, faculty and staff came together for the Spring 2025 InfoSci Student Mixer. Against a backdrop of laughter, friendly competition and steaming cups of hot cocoa, the College of Information Science celebrated our students this semester with a perfect mix of fun and community.
The event was more than just a chance to win door prizes (though the InfoSci water bottles, T-shirts and Bluetooth speakers were definite crowd-pleasers). It was a space for students—both undergraduate and graduate—to connect, unwind and celebrate being part of the InfoSci Wildcat family.

Games, Prizes and a Visit from Wilbur & Wilma
From the moment students checked in, the energy was electric. Music filled the air, setting the tone for an afternoon of engaging conversations and lighthearted competition. Giant Jenga, Connect Four and table Tetris brought out strategic masterminds, while cornhole and bingo had students battling it out for bragging rights—and, of course, prizes.
Adding to the excitement, Wilbur and Wilma Wildcat made a special appearance, bringing their signature school spirit and posing for photos with students.

A Community Worth Celebrating
Beyond the games and giveaways, the mixer was a reminder of what makes the College of Information Science community so special—the connections forged in and out of the classroom. As students swapped stories over hot cocoa and sweet treats, faculty and staff were on hand to share advice, encouragement and plenty of Wildcat pride.
For those who attended, the event was a chance to meet new faces, reconnect with familiar ones and leave with a little more school spirit (and goodie bags that included college-branded lip balm and other treats).
Missed the event? No worries—this is just the beginning of another exciting semester at the College of Information Science. Stay tuned for more opportunities to connect, learn and have fun!
