College Night @ Island Social Offers Fun Evening for Area College Students

On Wednesday, February 5, 2025, 127 college students from Clarke University, Loras College, Northeast Iowa Community College, and the University of Dubuque gathered for College Night @ Island Social. The fun-filled evening was part of our 2024-2025 YOU can be great here Community of Colleges series, a lineup of events designed to connect college students to the community through fun and engaging experiences that demonstrate all that our community has to offer. This night proved to be no exception!

Held at Island Social, the newest attraction on Schmitt Island, each attendee took advantage of $10 in credits towards any of the 75+ arcade games, free pizza and pop, and exclusive access to all six lanes of duckpin bowling.

This event was more than just a night of fun—it was an opportunity for students to connect with peers, experience local entertainment, and see firsthand why YOUR FUTURE can be great here.
