First-Year Hot Takes

The First-Year Hot Takes event will have the first-years involved with the NACC community stand up in front of each other and present ANYTHING they are passionate about! Nobody will plan anything in advance, giving the audience a true insight into their natural trains of thought and hopefully grow closer as a result. Subjects may include (but are not limited to): conspiracy theories about TV shows, survival tips for someone’s hometown, arguments for why we should adopt one’s unusual habits, etc. We hope to see you there!
