While the mention of Slope Day brings visions of a packed slope and pounding music to juniors and seniors, Slope Day will go virtual for the second year in a row in the only format that underclassmen have experienced the beloved Cornell tradition.
DJ Diesel, also known as NBA Champion Shaquille O’Neal, will be spinning records as part of this year’s Virtual Slope Day.
A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie will no longer be headlining the second day of the Virtual Music Festival “due to health reasons.”
The Virtual Music Festival exemplifies how important it is for the Cornell administration to be more transparent about funding and allocation, especially in these uncertain times.
Swae Lee, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Rico Nasty and Matoma are set to play the Virtual Music Festival on May 14 and 15 at 8 p.m. EDT, Slope Day Programming Board announced on Facebook.
Students missing music on the slope will still be able to celebrate the end of the semester.
In the newest COVID-19 development, Cornell canceled Slope Day, transitioned to only take-out in the dining halls and closed all gyms.
This year’s selections survey will include 24 artists and include names such as Swae Lee, Lil Baby, Alesso and Bebe Rexha.
Listening to music activates many different parts of the brain that aren’t even specific to music. These are parts of the brain that are involved in other activities, such as listening to speech, motor planning, and emotional processing.
Preparing for Slope Day, different offices and departments across campus have been working to properly manage the large number of students on and off the slope and to ensure that correct safety precautions are taken.
