The fun doesn’t end with the weekend! Every Tuesday the College Programming Board presents the Tuesday Night Live Series. Each week features either a live performance by a comedian, musical artist, slam poet, spoken word artist or magician or an open mic night during which Ramapo students have the opportunity to showcase their talent. As part of next week’s open mic night on Tuesday, February 25^th, Ramapo will be hosting So Long Solo, an acoustic indie/pop duo that has traveled abroad performing their music, raising money, and volunteering for those in need. Their performance style is very laid back, and tea will be served at the event to enforce the relaxed, coffee house feel. Earlier in the day, the duo will host a discussion about their time abroad and talk to students about their mission.
