[G. Glaros]Water, boating, and downtown fun on the canal! The second annual IUPUI Regatta
is quickly approaching. With events like the canoe race, movie in the courtyard, and the
Herron art contest, you don’t want to miss it. We spoke with Regatta Chair, Christina
Bleeke for the details. [C. Bleeke] The IUPUI Regatta is in its second
year and it is a canoe race on the downtown canal for students, faculty, staff, and alumni.
Anyone is welcome to come to the event, but to be in a canoe, you have to be either a
student of IUPUI or an IUPUI faculty, staff, or alumni.
There’s going to be a lot of different activities on the day of the event that anybody can participate
in. We’re going to have live bands including; My Yellow Rickshaw, Loo Abby, and Jeremy Johnson
and the Bleeding Keys. We are going to have a DJ from Radio Now.
We’re going to have a seventy foot inflatable obstacle course, a bungee run, a dunk tank,
pony rides, face painting, a clown, vendors from local restaurants.
We decided to put on the Regatta because we really wanted to create a tradition for IUPUI
that really created a great experience for everyone and kept the students and alumni
coming back to the campus year after year. The Regatta takes place right here on the
canal. It’s September 25th. The first band starts playing at 10:30, with the opening
ceremony starting at 11, and the event will last until 5 p.m., and for more information,
you can go to iupui.edu/regatta. [G. Glaros] You can still sign up your team
for the canoe race or to volunteer at iupui.edu/regatta.
