Post B-day Ball

So Birthday ball is now over and you may be asking yourself, what do I have to look forward to for the rest of the semester?

Well no fear because the OSA/SEB has some awesome events being brewed up in the next few weeks. Just this week is Deal or no Deal on Thursday in the EGG, and Techno night on Friday!!! Keep your eyes open for other fabulous on-goings by the OSA/SEB.

Also help the local RAPE CRISIS center by attending the Vagina Monologues on Friday night. It is at the Prince Theater right here in Chestertown!!! The cost is $15 and our goal is to reach $5000 for charity. Every cent is worth it when helping women in need.

It is February and you know what that means, Black History Month! Look around campus for banners and information recognizing America's black history by various diverse organizations.

Also, those in Haiti still need our help! Even if you have given that money is gone and spent. They still need more and every cent helps. Please continue to donate to those who need our help. Outside the dining hall they are selling all kinds of nifty stuff for charity, stop by when you get the change and give, give, give!!!

Ok, cool here is a fun fact...

The character of Optimus Prime on the popular 1980s animated television series "Transformers" was originally written to speak with a Jamaican accent.

Mid Semester Recap

Ahh February is almost over..and that means Spring Break and the second half of the semester are almost upon us! So far this semester we have had an amazing line-up of events, with of course Birthday Ball, Heads You Win!, multiple dance parties, open mic nights, an indoor movie, a Super Bowl Party, a karaoke night, along with many more. To top that all off, there are pool and ping-pong leagues currently running in the Game Center, not to mention, sign-ups for the new WAC Series of Poker (WSOP), that starts the week after spring break!

Now for the best news of all, it is that time of year again where people can apply to be more involved on campus. Currently, the Student Events Board is accepting applications for the Executive Board, AND the Office of Student Activities Internship Program is about to put out applications for internships. If you are looking for leadership experience or pre-professional experience, coupled with a captivating creative outlet, then an internship or executive board position is for you!

One last thing, i would like to thank the Birthday Ball Planning Committee for all their hard work this year. Without them, this office, coupled with the Student Government Association would not have been able to plan and execute such a wonderful Birthday Ball event. So if you see Kate McKelvey on campus (or any of her Assistant Directors), please give her a HUGE HUG...or maybe just a thank you would do ;-)

Birthday BALL!

Another huge event finished, another school week started! Birthday Ball this year was fantastic, so many crazy lights(enough to fill Ed's quota for the year I'm sure) and many many alumni back to WAC. I had a blast reuniting with them over some sweet, albeit insane, dance music and of course all of the parties! This years theme was Ice Palace, and although there was actually no ice to speak of, the decor was pretty wicked. Snowflakes, music, dancing....what more do you need! Anyway, I would just like to thank everyone involved with making this night a success, including yes. Edward Hoegg. Champion among men(in the realm of lighting design that is). Just kidding Ed, but the OSA really is appreciative to all of those who helped set up and tear down very early Sunday morning. So lets give them a hand! (Clap, Clap, Clap). Alright! Well, have another great week WAC and remember, Spring Break is only two weeks away! Adios amigos.

Classes are back in session and there are four awesome events coming up during the next two weeks of February. On Wednesday the 17th, there is Open Mic Night in The Egg. On the 18th, OSA is funding SEB's first Karaoke Night in The Egg. Come out to enjoy some music and express your own musical talent! On the 25th, students will have a chance to compete on Deal or No Deal in The Egg. On the 26th is Techno Night! It's going to be awesome and I cannot wait!! Come out to the Egg for an awesome night! Aside from those events, tomorrow, the 17th, is a double header basketball game! It starts at 6PM with the Women's team! It's also senior night. So, come out and support WAC teams and athletes!

Random fact of the week:

Over the last centuries and especially the last decades, acceptance of homosexuality by people in the West and in Asia has increased, as is shown by this graph (figures for the US). Check it out!!

This Is Narnia!

Powder. Slush. Flakes. Crystals. Flurries. SNOW. No matter how you say it, it all adds up to a week of canceled classes and lots and lots of fun in the Office of Student Activities. But, before I tell you all the ways that the OSA has been making Frosty proud this week, let me catch you up on what we did before Chestertown, Maryland turned into the North Pole.

On Sunday, we, along with Campus Christian Fellowship and Campus and Campus Catholic Ministries, showed the big game on a big screen (a projector screen set up in the Student Center Lounge). Today, the Student Events Board completed its second annual “Heads You Win” tournament. Some twelve hours later, a lucky, and frozen Shoreperson walked away with $300 in prize money!

Over the past week, WAC has been one part Winter Wonderland and one part Frozen Nightmare. But, as usual, we’re taking it all in stride. Today, the SEB hosted a Snowman Making contest. Over the next few days as we’re anticipating round 2 of the blizzard from…well, wherever blizzards come from…the Student Center will be filled with board game nights, video game tournaments, and much, much, more! So come out, because let’s face it, classes are canceled and it’s time to celebrate.

Stay safe and warm and I’ll see you in the Student Center!

Blizzard!

Good morning! I assume all of you are currently snug in your dorms on this wonderful snowy morning. The screens outside my window are so covered that I can barely see outside but I prepared to be stuck in for days and I'm just enjoying the quiet.

Speaking of quiet, you can bet there will be no quiet tomorrow evening for.....THE SUPERBOWL! After day and a half of staying indoors you should definitely come out to a great WAC tradition- the Superbowl party hosted by CCF, this year it is co-hosted by CCM and yours truly- the Office of Student Activities! There will be wings, pizza and subs to go around so come down the Student Center and check it out.

In other news, league registration is finally over and we have a wonderfully full Ping Pong and Pool schedule for the next 6 weeks or so!

Have fun in the snow and be safe,
