NEW STUDENT CENTER

Hey everyone,

So today we opened up our brand new, beautiful student center. We have pool tables, ping pong, shuffle board, air hockey, Foosball, video games, wii + x-box, and lots of board games in our new game room. Our new cafeteria is open as well as our new cove with all kinds of goodies. I'm so pumped to get some lattes from Java George.

Last night all of the OSA stayed in the student center till after 12am getting it ready for the students. It was a lot of hard work but was worth it, and in the end as we were treated to some ice cream cake, yum! The grand opening celebration is on Tuesday, Nov 3rd at 9am. WACappella will be singing and there will be fun for all I'm sure.

Tonight is the SGA Orange fence party!!! I will be staffing the event from 10:30-12 and I promise you will have an awesome time!!!!

On another note, today is Oct. 30 meaning TOMORROW IS HALLOWEEN!!!! I already have my costume all planned out and you can find me as Patty Mayonnaise at tomorrow's Battle of the Bands in the Quad.

Until next time,
Sophie--LEADership Intern

Student Center Time!

Hey guys!

Well, today we get to finally move into the student center! Let me borrow jared words..."yesssssssssssssssssssssss!" To be blunt, I am really excited. No more old, run down, insect ridden Gibson! Now we get a bright pretty Office space when I can take ping pong breaks and go grab a warm sub for lunch. Excellent. Other than that, I am constructing that giant wall calender in the Hodson Hall Commons, and making the final touches on the newsletter...if only everyone would send me their articles...sigh...Well, I'm off to go grab my keys for our new office! Yay!
cya,

Tim

Yeeeeeeeessssssssss...soooo EEEEXXXCCCCCIIIIIITTTTEEEDDD

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssss the Student Center is about to be opened in the brand new Hodson Hall Commons!!!! i cannot tell you how excited i am for the building to open next Friday, October 30th. The opening of the building is going to create such a tremendous amount of opportunity for activities and events. We will now have the capability to do anything from pool and video game tournaments, to concerts, comedians, and dance parties. A central place for things to happen on campus will be a welcome change from the previous year, in which space and possibility were somewhat limited due to the construction of Hodson Hall.

In other news on campus, look for all the great events that are upcoming in the next few weeks. With things like the second annual Comedy Week, the end of the semester is sure to be an exciting time for everyone! Hopefully, i will see you around at all the great events different organizations on campus are throwing!!

Until next time, be easy.

The First Ever OSA Blog

Saturday, October 17th was the last day of National Coming Out Week. To celebrate this, EROS, the LGBT and Ally group on the WAC campus, held the Annual Coming Out Tea in the Lit House on Sunday, October 18th. This event allowed people to gather, drink tea, eat snacks and share stories of themselves, friends, family and other people. The environment was safe, accepting and anonymous. It was amazing to be there.

One will not often see or be given the chance to attend events like this on such a socially conservative campus. However, when we can make things like this happen, it reminds people that there are safe, accepting people on campus, people to go to with problems and questions, and that there are others like you on campus, be you LGBT, ally and/or more.

P.S. I found a 1,200 year old white quartz arrowhead on October 1st at the Redman's farm as part of an archaeological excavation for my Doing Archaeology class with Dr. Julie Markin. I recommend the class and highly recommend her as a professor!!

Enjoy your week.
