My First Rowdy Rally at MSU Denver: A Day of Connection, Creativity, and Community

Hey Rowdy Roadrunners community,

Today was my first time attending Rowdy Rally 2025 at MSU Denver, and I’m so glad I came.

The energy was high, the campus was buzzing, and the Roadrunner Carnival brought out the best of summer vibes games, music, food, and student orgs all coming together to welcome new and returning students.

I arrived around 1 PM with my friend Ronnile Aragon, who encouraged me to come.

I met her at church a year or two ago, and I want to say thank you, Ronnile, for being that kind of friend who nudges me toward community when I’ve been quiet or distant.

One of the things I was most excited about was the airbrush T-shirt booth. I had a design in mind something meaningful to me, something that raises awareness for a cause I care deeply about. I wanted to create it not just for myself, but for my Instagram followers, to help bring attention to something that often gets overlooked. Unfortunately, despite waiting patiently in line since 2pm, I didn’t get the chance to have my shirt made before the event ended at 5 PM.

I was disappointed, but I also felt inspired by the creativity and passion of the artists there.

Their work caught my attention, hoping to see more T-shirt design activities at future MSU events.

I also want to give a shoutout to the photographers who captured the day and shared it on Facebook.

I’m trying to get more engaged, more social, and I’d love to hear from others who feel the same. 📱 Feel free to text me. I’d love to hear your experience and maybe connect for future events!
