University of Toledo Blue Crew

 

POKEY

Initiation Date: 10/17/2008

Favorite Sport: Football but all Rocket sports are FAN-tastic!

Favorite Place on Campus: Favorite building is by far the Memorial Field House (second oldest building on campus!). There's such tradition there and seeing the transformation is breathtaking. My favorite place on campus though is probably a little obscure room in University Hall-you gotta find it for yourself to experience the magic!

Why I Joined Blue Crew: Stepping on campus as a freshman, you feel the pulse of the life and activity and passion flowing through the veins of the students and faculty. Blue Crew seemed to embody this pulse and amp it up even further. Plus I love The University of Toledo and everything that it represents. There are few, if any, other groups on campus that represent both this passion and this tradition.

My Favorite Blue Crew Memory: Every moment in mask and wig. But in all honesty, Dance Marathon my first year in the organization was probably the best. It was probably the longest stretch I've ever spent in the uniform but it was by far the most rewarding. Seeing the children and their families and the UT student body having such a great time for charity made everything worth it. It was also just a great time with hundreds of great people..
