Come and hang out with the team and decorate a t-shirt to show off the UHP’s collective swag. Don’t worry about bringing markers, we have ALL the colors. Just bring a white t-shirt (make sure to wash it first) and your lovely selves. Not on the team yet? Don’t worry about it. Come anyway and we can even help you sign up there. Don’t forget your white t-shirt! And don’t forget Relay for Life on April 20!

Palisades Book Sale [SPA Event]

For the bookworm/bargain shopper in all of us, the SPAs have found a book sale that is sure to satisfy. This Saturday at the Palisades Library (down the street from the Vern) we’re headed over to their annual book sale.
Most books will be $1, with a $10 per bag option as well. There is also a discount room, with books at $0.25 and $3 per bag. Bring your own bag(s), because the selection is FANTASTIC. Make sure to have some cash on hand, and the sale’s proceeds will support this library.
Meet Rebekah Johnson at the West Hall Vern Express stop for a leisurely walk over at 1:30 pm on Saturday, the 23rd of March. See y’all then!

Tomorrow: Food for Thought w/ Prof. Sides

Never put off tomorrow what you can do today!  Particularly apt in this case, since today’s your last chance to register for this free lunch and lecture with Prof. John Sides!

Food for Thought: The Story of the 2012 Presidential Campaign (in Graphs!)

“Game changer.” We heard it so many times during the 2012 U.S. presidential election. But what actually made a difference—and what was just hype? John Sides will tell the story of the election in just a few graphs — using a “moneyball” approach that gets beyond the anecdote, folklore, and conventional wisdom that often pass for election analysis.

Tuesday, March 19th from 11:30am-12:30pm in Ames 101Q (MVC).
Seats are capped at 15, so register now!

Board Game Night! [SPA Event]

Want to pwn your fellow Honors students in Trivia? How about getting victory points in the land of Catan? Do all this and MORE at Board Game Night! Join Sarah Rood and your fellow Honors students playing Trivial Pursuit, Munchkin, Settlers of Catan, Cards Against Humanity and possibly more! Be there Wednesday March 20th (that’s this Wednesday!) from 5-7 pm in the Club Room. Come late or leave early if necessary, as long as you play fairly and have fun!
