Late Night Kirby is a student run program based out of the Kirby Student Center for the students of the University of Minnesota Duluth. We bring in musical and variety acts to the Kirby Rafters every Tuesday and Wednesday night of the school year starting at 9:00 PM. On Thursday nights, we partner with the Kirby Games Room and host games and other interactive activities in the Games Room and Lounge Area. Every Thursday night we sponsor free pool, foosball, and X-box starting at 10:00 PM. Our funding comes from you, the students, as a part of your annual fees to attend school. Because of this ALL of our events are FREE to you - the student body of UMD. The outside community is welcome at most events but there will typically be an admission fee for them. All you need is your UMD U-Card! Late Night Kirby began here at the University of MN Duluth in the Fall of 2002. It launched out of a need, felt both by students and the administration, to have free, on-campus events available to students during the week that didn't begin until later at night - typically peak social hours for students. The events should have three primary characteristics: they encompass a wide variety of acts (musical or interactive games), the events would be alcohol-free, and the events would foster a fun, all-inclusive atmosphere for any UMD student that desired to attend. |
