All-Campus Party 2010 celebrates end of school year

All-Campus Party (ACP) 2010, hosted by the Wisconsin Alumni Student Board (WASB), will take place April 17-23 and, as always, will feature a variety of cost-free, alcohol-alternative events for University of Wisconsin–Madison students, faculty and staff.

The Wisconsin Alumni Student Board and other student organizations around campus are coordinating events to celebrate the end of the school year, the onset of spring and the enthusiasm of the campus community.

ACP acknowledges and embraces the diversity of campus by bringing both individuals and organizations together to celebrate a common bond and appreciation for UW–Madison. This year’s ACP will feature events presented by more than 70 different student organizations.

ACP events are free to attend and include live music and prizes for students. Highlights include All-Campus Idol, Wear Red Get Fed, Club Bucky, and the new Buckystock.

Club Bucky, presented by Pizza Hut, will take place on Thursday, April 22, from 8 p.m.-12 a.m. in the parking lot across from the Southeast Recreational Facility (SERF). The dance party will bring Jarius King, DJ Vilas Park Sniper, a variety of student performers and door prizes under one tent for an evening of music, entertainment and plenty of dancing.

Buckystock, presented by the UW Credit Union, on Friday, April 23, from 3-9 p.m. in Library Mall, will feature several bands in a music festival-style lineup. Performers include the Grace Weber Band, Bascom Hill, We the Living, and several local acts, including The Nod and JT Roach.

No advance ticketing is required for Buckystock, the Badger Football Spring Game or All-Campus Idol.
