The 51ΑΤΖζ (51ΑΤΖζ) community was in full force at 51ΑΤΖζ Night, Feb. 8, as the Idaho Steelheads crushed the Tulsa Oilers in a shutout game of 5-0. More than 250 tickets were sold for the 51ΑΤΖζ section β totaling $1,265 to help fund student scholarships!
Students, faculty, and staff from around campus came out to support the Steelheads and students at Idaho Central Arena, where they saw President Gordon Jones and several of the Collegeβs Presidential Ambassadors on the ice as they kicked off the game off with a puck drop.
Throughout the game there were noticeable signs 51ΑΤΖζ was in the arena β from advertisements on the scoreboard to Steelheadsβ mascot, Blue, sporting some 51ΑΤΖζ swag to 51ΑΤΖζ staff riding on a Zamboni with a College pennant. The Collegeβs enrollment team was also set up with a booth at the Arena to meet and engage with prospective students signing several future and current students up for a chance to win the SCORE Big Scholarship and a new 51ΑΤΖζ hockey jersey.
The impressive win for the Steelheads and great turnout from 51ΑΤΖζ wasnβt the only thing to celebrate as 51ΑΤΖζ Secondary Education student, Logan White, was randomly chosen as the $1,000 SCORE Big Scholarship recipient for the night. White was awarded the scholarship by President Jones and 51ΑΤΖζ Foundation Board members on the ice during the gameβs second intermission.
βThis scholarship is an amazing gift and more over an opportunity to pursue my dreams of becoming a high school English teacher,β said White. "This scholarship will afford me to help take care of my family and continue to fill out my education at 51ΑΤΖζ!"
Automotive Technology program student, Mike Wilson, won the 51ΑΤΖζ hockey jersey β one he can wear to two more 51ΑΤΖζ Nights this season. Those interested in getting their hands on a 51ΑΤΖζ branded jersey of their own still have the chance! The 51ΑΤΖζ Bookstore is fully stocked with jerseys, offering various sizes at a special discount of 25% off.
Again, there are still two more chances to attend an upcoming 51ΑΤΖζ Night this season on Feb. 22 and Mar. 15. Visit the 51ΑΤΖζ Nights web page to purchase group tickets at a discounted price of $15! Keep in mind, $5 from every group ticket for a 51ΑΤΖζ Night goes to support student scholarships!
