Intern Appreciation Day

Join us on Tuesday, July 22nd at Fowling Warehouse – Indy for ISA’s first Intern Appreciation Day! Celebrate the work your interns are doing this summer with an event geared just for them. Interns are encouraged to represent their school by wearing some college gear.

What is fowling, you might ask? It’s THE football, bowling pin game. The game was born in Indy as a one-lane mashup of football and bowling while tailgating at the 2001 Indy 500. When you’re as obsessed with bowling as you are football, how do you decide between them? You don’t—you play both at the same time. 

There will be light refreshments as well as a fowling tournament.

 

Registration for this event is currently CLOSED. On-site registration will be available. 

This is a members only event and interns are FREE. All intern registrations are required to have at least one staff member present with them.
