Purple Knight Weekly
December 11 - 17, 2017


Purple Knights,

As the semester comes to a close, I would like to extend my well wishes on behalf of the Office of Campus Activities and Civic Engagement.  As you prepare for final exams, revise papers and practice presentations, I hope you do so with the confidence you need to conquer the next few days.

Over the winter break, take time to relax, reflect, and come back in January refreshed and ready to take on the new semester.  The Campus Activities and Civic Engagement staff will be working diligently to ensure that the Spring is filled with events that are both fun and meaningful for you.  If there is anything you want to see happen on campus, do not hesitate to reach out to us.

Don’t forget to make Martin Luther King, Jr. Day a day “on”, not a day “off”!  Registration will be open soon for the MLK Day of Service. Check here for details: https://ubmlkday2018.eventbrite.com

Best of luck on finals, Happy Holidays, and enjoy your break!
