⚾️ Take me out to the ball game! 🎶

Our students had a great time spending an evening at Modern Woodmen Park for the St. Ambrose University vs. Black Hawk College baseball game! ⚾️

From watching the game and getting some fun swag to taking a spin on the Ferris wheel 🎡, our students made the most of the night.

We’re always excited to give our students opportunities to get out, try new things, and enjoy everything our community has to offer!
