Get In on the Fun!
We plan events all year long, but at the start of every semester, we work even harder to make sure there is a little something for everyone to get involved. Whether it be weekend movies, trivia, mentalists or good old-fashioned BINGO we hope you join us at some of these programs!
These events are just a sampling of all the great events and opportunities on campus! Find out what’s happening on a regular basis by reading Red Hawk News emails and following University social media accounts. For more information visit the Student Services website.
Some events are free and others require you to purchase a ticket or register on a first-come, first-served basis. You can get information on how to purchase tickets and see how much they cost by clicking on the name of the event and viewing the details on the next page.
