As the 2022 Beijing Olympic Games drew to a close, students on the New England campus — joined by prospective students who were visiting for an Open House weekend — gathered for an Olympic-themed dance. Olivia Music Hall, usually a building reserved for students to practice Mozart or Bach, was transformed into the 2022 Thomas Aquinas Olympic Games. Flags from across the world hung from the ceiling as music from different countries played in the background. 

By the snack bar, students munched on different worldly cuisines, from taquitos to pizza bites. In keeping with the night’s theme, prospective students were awarded with gold medals for their dancing. 

“Having prospective students here brought even more life to the campus,” said freshman Pedro da Silva. “The dance allowed us to connect with the students here on campus, and it allowed me to see the joy they have for the College,” added a visiting student.
