Late Night Events:
The R.E.A.L. Peers offer alternative late night events for all SUU students. These late night events are held every other Friday and begin at 9 pm when the rest of Cedar City begins to die down. The peers host various types of events, such as movie night, casino night, speed dating, video game tournaments, and many other fun activities throughout the semester.
