Spike’s Third Annual Pizza Bowl Builds Community

Liza Catlin

Spike’s third annual Pizza Bowl took place Feb 9. in the Student Union Building. This event was first created during 2022 and has occurred annually since. What initially sparked the idea of the pizza bowl was the desire for Truman State University to celebrate National Pizza Day. University staff members also wanted to find a creative way to encourage student engagement with the campus, which led to the creation of the first Pizza Bowl. In its first year, there was an attendance of over 500 people; in its second year, there were around 650 people.
