The campus is invited to a 1950s-themed Valentine's Party for couples, single people and friends from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 16 in Marano Campus Center's Swetman Gym.

Admission is free as organizers put a new twist to Valentine's Day, with live performances from the Laker Poets Society, music, games and prizes.
