| ADDITIONAL INFORMATION |
|
There is almost always something happening on campus – if it's not a Campus Activities Council dance or show then it's a music or theater performance, or a sporting event, or an interesting speaker, or maybe a movie being shown for fun or a spiritual activity from Campus Ministries. Whatever your bag, you can probably find it on the events and activities calendar or the clubs and co-curriculars listing. |
