Say aloha to friends and soak in the relaxing island vibe during Spring Fever Week, at the University of Louisiana Monroe.

Alo-HawkÌýSpring Fever Week 2021 includes Super Warhawk Weekend, Saturday and Sunday, April 17-18.

Ìý

Alo-Hawk kicks off Monday, April 19, with lei handouts and a free lunch from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Monday at Bayou Park; it concludes with the NPHC cookout Friday from 1-4 p.m. in the Student Grove.

Hosted by ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù's Student Life and Leadership, this year's "Alo-Hawk" event brings a Hawaiian theme to campus in what is historically ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù's largest gathering of week-long activities for those ready to celebrate the end of the spring semester.

Ìý

All events are free and open to ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù students, staff, and faculty.

Activities traditionally associated with Spring Fever Week also continue, including T-shirt sales, the annual crawfish boil on Monday, and oozeball on Friday. This year's concert, open to the community, will be held outdoors in the Grove from 12 to 6 p.m. Thursday.

Alo-Hawk takes on added meaning as the campus looks toward a return to normal following the cancellation of last year's event due to the pandemic.

Ìý

Joel Sinclair, Coordinator of Student Activities for Student Life and Leadership, admitted to feeling a "perfect mixture" of both excitement and pressure, given the circumstances.

Ìý

"There's more excitement because it shines a glimmer of light, like some normalcy is approaching," he said. "But it also represents a clean slate because we have new health guidelines to follow. It gives students a way to celebrate their hard work."

Sinclair attributed the event's fun-filled, themed activities to the "guidance, focus, and creativity" of the students who surround him daily.
