“It was an amazing turn out,” said University Union president Andrew Beyda. “It’s not all about the numbers but when you get such a high turnout it speaks to the fact that we are addressing what students want to see. Block Party is a tradition that students have come to enjoy. Hopefully it’s one of the memories that students will have when they leave here.”
