Dear Eagles,
Week two is here, and campus is officially buzzing with energy again! With so much going on, here are a few highlights including the Murray Center for Student Wellness Well Fest, Career Center's Business & Technology Career Fair, and next Monday, mark your calendar for the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month Opening Ceremony.
Interested in studying abroad? Our friends in the Office of Global Engagement are hosting a study abroad fair, and the Environmental studies program is featuring Bill McKibben's "Here Comes the Sun" lecture. Also, no home football game this week? No problem, head over to our men's soccer game this Wednesday and a volleyball game this Friday. Lets pack the stands for our Eagles teams and keep the momentum going.
Yours in Community.
