April 9, 2024, Garden City, NY – Nassau Community College’s Student Government Association sponsored a solar eclipse
party on the Quad Monday afternoon, April 8. More than 150 students, faculty and staff
gathered on picnic tables, benches and the vast campus lawn to witness the historic,
celestial event from 2:45 to 3:45 p.m. The SGA and Student Activities Office provided
free protective glasses to students. The view was ideal as eager onlookers looked
in the sky over Nassau Hall to watch the moon temporarily block the view of the sun.
Watchers also lined Davis Avenue and Hazelhurst Avenue for optimal viewing during
this community-building event.
