Campus Auxiliary Services will be gifting two $100 gift cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She also said students will not be selected during The Stomp due to time but will be contacted via email the following week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the complete schedule and event details, visit the UTRGV Student Activities\u2019 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.utrgv.edu\/studentactivities\/event\/2020\/best-week-ever\/index.htm\">website<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>FOR VAQUERO NEWS, I\u2019M VICTOR RAMIREZ<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Best Week Ever is traditionally celebrated on campus, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the events will be<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":2310,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[13,16,34,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2309","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-brownsville","category-edinburg","category-entertainment","category-radio"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>A virtual Best Week Ever - The Valley&#039;s Student Station<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/utrgvradio.com\/index.php\/2020\/08\/24\/a-virtual-best-week-ever\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"A virtual Best Week Ever - The Valley&#039;s Student Station\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Best Week Ever is traditionally celebrated on campus, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the events will be\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/utrgvradio.com\/index.php\/2020\/08\/24\/a-virtual-best-week-ever\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"The Valley&#039;s Student Station\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-08-24T15:00:57+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/utrgvradio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/New-BWE-Design.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"890\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Victor G.
