Christian Wagner, a sophomore majoring in nursing, takes a big swing during the car smash event at Thursday's fifth annual Light Up the Night at Centennial Mall. Co-hosted by the Counseling Center and the Office of Recreational Services, the event promoted mental health education and suicide prevention, and featured a petting zoo, free chair massages and a DJ.

Ashley Flahiff, a freshman studying social work, eagerly awaits her turn to bash the car.
