Dear Eagles,
This week is packed with programming! Foremost, tomorrow is Voter Registration Day and Constitution Day. I invite you to stop by the 4th Floor Maloney Hall Reception area starting at 2:00 pm for free cupcakes, TurboVote information, and resources to help you get prepared for the upcoming presidential election.
We are also celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month in our reception area this afternoon (view a full listing of events) and the BAIC is hosting a BBQ in Baldwins Backyard. See details below.
Finally, with midterms right around the corner, it's important to take a break and keep your stress in check. Be sure to stop by Wellfest on Wednesday to learn about all the campus health and wellness resources available to you.
Seniors! The deadline to apply to be part of this year's Homecoming Court is fast approaching! Fill out your application today!
