Campus Events
New Student Orientation
- Paint Wars: The new incoming class is broken into teams that prepare for battle throughout orientation. Students prepare a team name, a team flag, and varying degrees of costume/armor made from cardboard (save those boxes from move-in day!). Students then march to the beach to participate in a colorful sword fight.
Weekly Events
There is always something going on campus! Keep an eye out for The Artist’s Easel Student Affairs Newsletter for announcements and events such as Open Mic Night, movie showings, games, and more! If you want to see an event happen, attend the Student Voice Activities Meetings and bring up your ideas.
