Students swing clubs and showed off their skills in a miniature golf course.

“I think Late Night is a great idea for something to do on a Friday night,” Martin Hubmann, sophomore mechanical engineering major said.
There was about 900 students who attended the event. The event was free for all UW-P students.

“It is cool to see so many students out here on a Friday night,” said Tyler Fisher, freshman business administration major. “It is a good idea for an alternative to do on the weekend.”

“I think this event is awesome; it is the best night on campus ever,“ Kate Olson, senior biology major said.

The night started off with the Bonnaroo College Comedy Tour presented by US Cellular. Pete Holmes, Kumail Nanjiani and Amy Schumer, who are members of the Bonnaroo Arts and Music Festival alumni performed their stand-up.

The second half of Late Night consisted of numerous activities for students to participate in including karaoke, a climbing wall, indoor miniature golf course, card and board games, laster tag, massages, a movie, oxygen bar, velcro wall and a photo booth.
The Pioneer Haus and Perk were open for students to order beverages and food from the late night menu.

The first floor held karaoke, massages and the college comedy tour. The second floor held mini golf, card and board games, photo booth, popcorn and trivia, velcro wall, laster tag and a movie.

The planning committee consisted of Student Centers administrative staff members and students. The committee was responsible for promoting Late Night to as many students and friends, staffing the event from start to finish.

“Late Night would be successful if the people here are still talking about it next week and saying that they had a good time, and enjoyed the stress free night before the hectic week of finals,” said James Ball, director of student affairs.
