Alumni Game Jams the Gym
Jam the Gym Alumni Team Players
The 4th annual Jam the Gym took place on Saturday, February 20th in the Douglas Redsten Gymnasium.
The day started with an alumni game followed by a social gathering. Alumni then watched the current WolfPack men's and women's basketball teams beat College of Dupage as they wrapped up regular season play.
"It's a way to socialize and support today's student athletes and find out what is going on with Madison College, but really it's about having some fun and meeting people," said Steve Hauser, Director of Athletics at Madison College.
Hauser called the event a "friend-raiser" and that "the benefit is that people have a good time." He, along with Jason Verhelst and Kris Mills in the Athletics Office, organized Jam the Gym. Alumni had the opportunity to reconnect with Madison College and each other.
Read more about Jam the Gym written by Matt Daniels at the Clarion, Madison College's student newspaper. Request an invite to next year's event.
Consider investing in the College's student athletes by giving to the Athletics Fund through the Foundation.
