On February 17, 2017, students, faculty and staff from ϶ shared their talents with the ϶Community at the 42nd annual Doc Samuel’s Variety Show.

Doc Samuel’s Variety Show was founded by now retired ϶Professor Doc Samuels in 1975. This year, President Danielle Ripich, Ph.D., joined the fun, performing a skit about the decrowning of the "϶Queen," an appropriate theme for Ripich’s final year as ϶President. In the skit, several students “auditioned” to take on the role. These students played people with funny qualifications for the job, including a Dairy Queen, a Queen Bee and a Prom Queen.
