Eight students faced the fire at Armstrongs first annual burning swamp open mic on Oct 20.

Its all about building community, said host Benjamin Drevlow. Its always magic at Burning Swamp.

Despite rainfall students and faculty brought energy to the international gardens. Each presenter opened up to the crowd adding a layer of intimacy.

Pieces performed ranged from chicken wings to war.

I have a unique point of view because I am older and a combat veteran so I write a lot about that to work through it, said senior biochemistry and English double major Alex Reese.

Another burning swamp event is anticipated to be held in the spring semester.
