You come here and watch a movie with your friends, relax, enjoy a night with your friends, and not focus on finals. We\u2019ve been wanting to do this for a long time, having that feeling of a drive-in theater.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meyer noted that the theater is a concept Student Engagement has to entertain students in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI hope we can do more things like this,\u201d he said. \u201cMaybe in the Fall, we\u2019ll have something where there\u2019s nicer weather, and we bring in another movie on the Quad.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Story by RORY MOORE Photos by MALEAH GRIFFIN Tiger Media Network The Office of Student Engagement hosted a drive-in movie theater showing of \u2018White Chicks\u2019&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":142,"featured_media":86549,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3398,11],"tags":[16238,15891,15700,12931],"class_list":["post-86542","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-campus-news","category-news","tag-drive-in-movie","tag-maleah-griffin","tag-rory-moore","tag-student-engagement"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tigermedianet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Movie-11-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1707&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86542","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/142"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=86542"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86542\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":86559,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86542\/revisions\/86559"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/86549"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=86542"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=86542"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=86542"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
