Pretty Pumpkin Painting
And carving! Come to the UHP Foggy Bottom Townhouse on Friday, October 27th to get your Fall on! Drink some sweet apple cider, eat some Halloween oreos, stuff yourself with candy and enjoy all your favorite Halloween movies! While you’re at it, carve a pumpkin that looks like your roommate, take a photo of it, win a prize, revel in your victory, take a nap. That last part should be done on your own time, cause the Halloween fun never stops in the townhouse!
The party is from 2-5 with a strict BYOP or BYO$5 policy to buy one of our pumpkins. Or you can just come and critique your peers, Simon Cowell style. Definitely bring any carving tools if you have them because our kits aren’t made for these mighty DC pumpkin breeds. We can’t wait to see you there!
Let us know you are coming by RSVPing here! http://www.facebook.com/events/103813133112898/

Pumpkin Carving!
As the great Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “If you won’t carve the pumpkins, who will?” The UHP is sad and lonely without Halloween decorations, spooky movies and beautifully crafted pumpkin art, but not for long! On Friday, October 26th, bring $5 or your own pumpkin to the Foggy Bottom Townhouse and carve it up. We’ll provide some carving kits, but they are notoriously unreliable, so if you have your own kit, bring em!
What’s one thing that isn’t unreliable? The delicious coffee, hot chocolate, apple cider and tasty, spoooky treats we’ll provide!
Watch Liz do Thriller!
Watch Catherine carve a pumpkin into the shape of her baby!

Interested in Entering Health Professions?
If you’re a student interested in pursuing a career in the health fields, GW has a new advising program especially for you: Health Professions Advising.
There are two Health Professions Advisors at GW:
- Amy Serridge (advises students whose last names begin with the letters A-K)
- Sarah Krauss (advises students whose last names begin with the letters L-Z)
The Health Professions Advisors are housed in the Pre-Professional Advising Office in Smith Hall 118.
Study Your Passion, Get $500 To Do It [SURE Award]
Did you know that Honors students have the exclusive opportunity to win up to $500 for their research? It’s true! Apply to the UHP/Sigelman Undergraduate Research Enhancement Award (SURE) and we might just cut you a check.
We know “Undergraduate Research Enhancement” doesn’t sound that exciting (well, to most people at least, but you are UHPers), but what you can actually do with that money is pretty sweet. Some of last year’s winners used it to buy high tech equipment to learn about Climate Change for their class project, figure out childhood speech patterns, or study Christianity and homelessness. Others — like Jonathan Robinson – combined the money to help him get to a conference in Chicago to present on his work on the Federal minimum wage. The possibilities are endless, but the deadline to apply this semester is October 26, 2012.
Keep reading for more info, or read about the award here.
Hold Removal + Food = Win
CCAS students: have an advising hold you need removed for registration? Catherine and Liz can help! And food! Food!
All other students: have scheduling questions and need help? Catherine and Liz can help! And food! Food!
We’ve got three different hold removal parties coming up:
- Sunday, October 28th from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. – join us at brunch in Pelham Commons on Mount Vernon! (Buy your own brunch. Use those GWorlds.)
- Monday, October 29th from 12 to 2 p.m. – pizza in the Club Room on Foggy Bottom!
- Wednesday, October 31st from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. – bagels in the Club Room on Foggy Bottom!
BE THERE OR BE SQUARE ILL ADVISED!
If you need your CCAS advising hold removed, remember to bring a completed Advisor Approval Form.
Of course, you can always attend walk-in hours or make an appointment. But then there won’t be food.
