UMSL students (from left) Annie Nohava, Juliana Knaup and Nick Perez ride the Cliffhanger during the University of Missouri–St. Louis’ Mirth Week carnival April 29.

The event provided an afternoon of rides, games, food and fun – the centerpiece of a university tradition that grew this year from what was once “Mirthday” into a full Mirth Week of campus cheer.

On Friday, the annual Mirth Week concert featured Miguel and drew more than 1,100 to the Blanche M. Touhill Performing Arts Center.
