Free ice cream brings excitement to the summer semester

Seawolves on campus this summer can find a sweet reprieve from the heat in the form of Wild Scoops ice cream provided by UAA Student Activities. Students can enjoy the delicious, handcrafted ice cream every Wednesday at noon from May to July. The location will vary each month, with the Student Union Plaza hosting in May, Cuddy Quad in June and the Consortium Library in July.

“It was good!” said admissions counselor Casey Karn. “They had four or five different options. I got the Yukon Gold.”

Event coordinator Matt Burgoon was especially excited about the ice cream. “The ice cream was good. When I came to work today … I had some of that fudge toffee [ice cream] and I forgot everything that I planned to do.”

Others appeared excited as well and a short line formed at this first free ice cream event of the year. Students were treated to small servings of ice cream neatly packaged in to-go containers.

The weeks to come will likely see more students line up to get a taste of the free and flavorful ice cream. Stay up to date with events put on by Student Activities by following them across their social media accounts.
