Purple Knight Weekly
August 28 - September 3, 2017

  

Welcome Back!

 

It is always a great day to be a Purple Knight.  This semester promises to be an exciting one for UB: a jam packed calendar of events, Homecoming Weekend, our athletic teams working hard to bring home victories, and much more!

 

To our new students, welcome to the family! The University of Bridgeport is filled with faculty, staff and students committed to making your experience a great one.  Take advantage of the resources available to you, get involved on campus, and I guarantee you’ll find your home away from home here.

 

To our returning students, welcome back! We are so excited to have you back on campus.  Your energy is palpable as we begin the semester.  Continue to be engaged in the campus community and making our University even greater each day.

 

Each Monday morning, you’ll receive this newsletter in your UB inbox.  It is filled with opportunities to attend events, athletic games, apply for scholarships, and to get connected with on campus resources.  Take time to read it each week to stay up to date!

 

If you have any questions about getting involved on campus or in the local community, please come visit the Office of Campus Activities and Civic Engagement, Room 231 in the Student Center or email us at campusactivities@bridgeport.edu.

Student Spaceflight Experiments Program

Calling all undergraduate students! Do you want to be a part of UB history? Looking to have fun while building your resume and learning new skills? Sign-up to be a part of the Student Spaceflight Experiments Program (SSEP) Mission 12, a nationwide initiative that engages student teams led by a faculty team leader in the design of real microgravity experiments. UB is looking for 30-40 undergrad students to get involved. One UB experiment will be chosen to be part of the first UB payload to the International Space Station (ISS), and would launch on a space ferry from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station adjoining NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, in late Spring 2018.  If you would like to participate, or receive more information about this research opportunity, please contact Dr. Jessica Nelson (jesnelso@bridgeport.edu) or Dr. Ruba Deeb (rubadeeb@bridgeport.edu) Come by our table in Marina Dining Hall on Tuesday to meet team leaders and find out more!
