Whether the first week of classes or the semester's last, the Office of Student Engagement is on hand to fill those non-studying hours with a range of programming from personal empowerment to flat-out entertainment.
Last weekend, for instance, brought opportunities for wheels and squeals alike: The Field House was converted for a Friday "Throwback Roller Skating Night" and the Klump Academic Center Auditorium welcomed comedian/contortionist Jonathan Burns on Saturday.
With many more campus events in the pipeline, students are encouraged to visit the new Engage platform for a convenient heads-up.

"Rolling" on the floor, smiling
Burns brings magic, juggling, comedy ...
... and bodily contortion to the ACC!

The first rule of performance: Know your audience!
