Wac Applies

Greetings all! This week begins to OSA Intern interview week, an exciting time in which all the prospective interns meet with jared and the outgoing seniors to conduct formal interviews! This year we had tons of applicants, around 20! That is a great number, much higher than last year's total. Anyway, we hope everyone does well and the office looks forwards the new members of the Intern team.
In other news, this is the critical time for nominations for the Leadership Celebration! There will be many members of the OSA and the Leadership Committee sitting outside the DH waiting for you to sign up your favorite or the best student or faculty adviser. So come on over and nominate! Or get the form online! Visit the OSA hompage to download the leadership forms!
Checka later WAC,

yay spring!

soooo i think spring is almost officially here! well at least weather wise it feels like spring is! let's hope the beautiful weather keeps up throughout the rest of the semester and with spring comes new beginnings. speaking of new beginnings, SEB is just wrapping up their selection process for new Exec Board members next year AND the OSA internship program's applications are due today, which means by the end of next week, the office will be wrapping up the semester, but infusing new life into our programs, ideas, and thoughts. nothing is more exciting than the energy new people bring.

on another note, OSA started its first annual WAC Series of Poker last night. the turnout was great, and everyone had a really great time! thanks goes out to Anjelica Jackson, for braving new frontiers (things she doesn't know about) and pulling everything together for it. also, the Student Events Board is gearing up for their third party of the semester, Mardi Gras Madness, which will include a chocolate fountain, other yummy treats, and grooves to move to!

i hope everyone has enjoyed the week of gorgeous weather. feel free to stop by and visit us!

On March 1st, 2010, a theft occurred within Hodson Hall Commons. OSA's amazing Student Center Intern had created the most beautiful, four foot tall ace of spades this campus has ever seen! Within one hour of putting the card on display in order to advertise for the poker league, it had mysteriously vanished. A report has been filed with Public Safety; however, they have yet to leap into action to solve this case. It was a sad day, and week, within the OSA.

On Friday March 19th, OSA is funding SEB's Mardi Gras Madness party. This party will follow the step competition. This awesome party will start at 9PM in The Egg. Come early so you make your own masks before dancing the night away while surrounded by amazing decorations!

An important random fact that YOU should know:

The 2007 ranking for gender Inequality:

You'll notice that the USA is at .7; however, one should keep in mind that the average female earns .77 to every male's dollar. Moreover, race is most likely not factored into these statistics. So, how correct is this chart? Determining how skewed this chart is could certainly prove it to be non-representative of the actual and true inequalities existing within the USA population.

Interns Gone Wild!!!

SPRING BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, now that I’ve gotten that out, I can be serious. Wait, what am I saying? I work in the OSA. There’s no seriousness allowed here…..Just kidding. Please don’t fire me.

You’ll have to excuse my ridiculous amount of excitement, but today marks the first day of SPRING BREAK here on campus and I couldn’t be happier. But, even more exciting than that are the scrumptious (good word right?) things that will be happening in the Office of Student Activities when we get back. I wish I could sit here and list all of the awesomeness for you, but in case you forgot, IT’S SPRING BREAK PEOPLE!!!!!

So here’s an awesomeness rundown (buckle up kids, this is going to get wild):

- Applications for OSA Interns are out!!! That’s right, we’re inviting new people to join the “OSA Circus” (© 2010, used with permission from Jill Obermeier, all rights reserved) and you could be one of them! I know I’ve said it before, but I work in the best place on earth with the best people on earth, and if you don’t believe me, come see for yourself!

- The Ping Pong and Pool Leagues are going into the playoffs! They’ll each be playing for $300.

- The Wac Series of Poker League will kick off right after Spring Break! Players from all over campus will be competing for a $200 Prize Package! If that doesn’t sound like awesomeness, I don’t know what does.

Also, I’d like to give a special shout-out to my good friends on the SEB who are working their tooshies off with their own awesomeness like the Boondock Saints Movie night, a Mardi Gras Party, and WAC Survivor!

Okay everyone. I've got to go. I hate to leave you all….but the fact that I won’t be in class for a week will ease my pain.

All love. ALWAYS.

Happy "Vernal Equinox Respite"…or, as we cool kids like to call it……..SPRING BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. I sincerely apologize for my excessive use of exclamation marks. I have a problem.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello all. firstly I must apologize for not having this done earlier, please forgive me for my tardiness. Now on to the good stuff. The snow is almost gone and hopefully we wont get anymore. Also 59 hours until spring break starts not that we didn't just have a week off a little while ago. For those of you that don't know the SEB and the OSA both have applications out for next year. Both organizations play a major role on campus and I encourage everyone on campus that wants to leave a mark to apply. the applications can be found in the Office of STudent Activities or on the respective websites. Also for those of you that dont know boondock saints ii will be playing the thursday after break. Also the drama department will be showing Spring Awakening after break as well as the musical A funny Thing Happened on the way to the Forum. This is the first musical in a number of years at WAC and I suggest everyone goes to see it. Also without realizing spring break has infact crept up on us again and in just a few short weeks the seniors will graduate and summer will be in full swing. Its hard to believe that WAC saw record amounts of snow two weeks ago and now we are getting ready for next year. Also I hope everyone enjoyed Birthday ball this year. Once again I lost track of the number of hours I was there but I do know that the sound only started working correctly as the first peopel walked into the doors. oh well it was a great event. Thats all for now. Until next time. Thanks
