Lamar University’s Cardinal Activities Board hosted a speed friending and rock painting social event, Jan. 30, in 206 Setzer Student Center.
Participants sat at tables and painted rocks. While engaging in the activity, they were provided with cards meant to engage them in conversations with fellow attendees.
Patience Dickmu, a graduate student from Douala, Cameroon, said the rock she painted featured a positive message that tells people to smile regardless of what trials they are facing.
“Literally, it’s like a positive start to tell the world to smile, no matter how difficult life is,” she said. “I just need to smile. So, that’s what I’m praying, for people to smile more.”
Dickmu said she most enjoyed the speed friending aspect of the event.
“That’s why I came, to meet new people and talk to them,” she said. “I made two new friends.”
