Dates, Events, Etc.: The Whole College Experience

This week in class, we have been discussing the bigger picture of college, the potential for growth that can happen outside as well as inside the classroom. All of the events that happen outside of class are a lot to keep track of (not to mention balancing them with classwork), so if you have not yet purchased a reliable and organized planner, do so. Put all of your important dates for your classes in it: exams, quizzes, papers due, guest speakers, etc. Then add all of your club meeting, intramural games, concerts or lectures you want to attend, the Day of Service, and one more...

SAVE THE DATE: November 15

Wes Moore, author of The Other Wes Moore, this year's First-Year Common Read, is coming to SCSU on Tuesday November 15 at 7:30 in the Lyman Center for Performing Arts.

He is a dynamic and inspirational speaker, and we will use his visit to revisit the Common Read and use his talk as food for thought for blogging that week.

One more date of potential interest (I got this from the FYE facebook page which regularly posts updates):

The Fitness Center is hosting a Fitness Fair in Adanti Student Center tomorrow (9/15). The Fitness Center will be open to all regardless of membership. Fitness classes will be offered for free. And Fitness Staff Members will be there to guide you around the facility and to offer you free fitness consultations.

**Reminder -- if you haven't seen and read the article that Mike asked us to look at for tomorrow, scroll down a post from yesterday to find it!
