Garden of Lights Illuminates Homecoming Dance

The 2016 Homecoming Dance, hosted at Santa Clara’s Bay Club, proved to be a success. The Bay Club’s spacious area and garden decorations added to the overall ambience and this year’s theme, Garden of Lights. Student DJs Matt Gursky, Henry Kloiber, and Spencer Threat created a dynamic set list and kept the attendants on the dance floor. Leadership also set up two televisions and couches in the back of the room for people to relax and watch the Stanford football game.

Leadership provided a “Garden of Lights” decorated photo booth for students to take photos.
