Campus Events
Student Life hosts a variety of co-curricular events for students. Weekend social and informational programming is a terrific way for students to connect to the community and each other. Seasonal events include apple picking, ice skating, and holiday celebrations throughout the year. Other annual events are Friends and Family Weekend, Late Night Breakfast, Spooktacular, and Stress Relief Week, which includes bringing puppies, kittens and massages to campus for students. Student Life also hosts educational panels on topics such as diversity, life skills (time management, wellness, etc.), and healthy relationships. Our student leaders host events both in the Residence Halls and in Porteous.
