RLST Club Meeting

Library Entrance Lobby

You are invited to the first Religious Studies club meeting on Tuesday, February 5th, at 7pm in the library. Please meet inside the entrance doors and we'll go to a classroom. We will be discussing trip ideas, fundraising, and electing a new President for next year! We will only be electing the President at this time so that they have a chance to observe and ask questions while the vets are still here but they will not officially take office until the fall. So join us with some great ideas and let's have an awesome semester!

RLST Club Meeting

Library, outside of Java City

Greetings Everyone, I hope your semester is starting off on the right foot! We will be having a Religious Studies Club meeting next Tuesday, February 19th, at 7pm outside Java City in the library. We've got a few exciting things for the semester planned including tabling in the library, a panel on created worlds, and a karaoke fundraiser! But we're really trying to knock this semester out of the park. So I want everyone to bring two ideas with them about either fundraisers or activities we can do! The last meeting we tossed around the idea of having a movie night fundraiser around Easter as well. I can't wait to hear your ideas! Don't forget to buy your departmental T-shirts in the office from Linda.

7:00 p.m.–9:00 p.m.
