Alpine, TX – Political tensions might be high elsewhere. But for Sul Ross students it was a little more friendly. Only a little.

Students came together for several dodgeball matches between to the two political student organizations on campus as well as encouraging students with no political affiliation either way to participate.

The first round went to red. The second round went to white.  Then, we mixed up the teams to have some collaboration across party lines. It was a fun and stress-relieving event for all!
This was hosted by the College Republicans (President: Jessie Galloway) and Young Democrats (President: Anais Gomez).

“Collaboration like this – between the College Republicans, Young Democrats, and everyone in between on our campus – is truly special to be a part of,” said College President Jessica Turner. “We’ve been able to witness how students can put aside their differences and just experience the best parts of life together. Our students are competitive, playful, and supportive of/with one another, regardless of political affiliation, and I think that’s more than can be said across a lot of our nation today. Our campus is setting an example of reaching across the aisle in our everyday lives, and I’m so grateful for the diverse group of friends I’ve made through collaborative events like this one.”
