(L to R) Stefan Weingarth, Sue McHenry, Ralph Sinnok

Stay Healthy, Warm, and Happy!
The semester is well under way and winter is just around the corner. If you don't have winter clothes, now's the time to start thinking about getting them! As unfortunate as it may seem, -40 is not a valid excuse to not go to classes. On that note, the UAF Winter Warm-Up, an event that consists of picking up free clothing, household goods and sporting goods, will be held on October 6th at the Wood Center. Go there and grab what you need, everything's free!
Along with winter comes flu season. Keep yourself healthy by dressing warmly and washing your hands frequently! Also, multiple places around town, including the Center for Health and Counseling, administer flu shots. Be sure to get yours!

Native Games
There's a new club on campus! Native Games gatherings will be held at the Student Recreation Center on Fridays at 5:30pm. It's a fun thing to do on a Friday night, so grab your friends and an extra pair of shoes and head down to the SRC! If you have any questions about this club, you can contact Gabrielle Russell  at (907) 474-7871.
Also, we'd like to thank Marjorie Tahbone for creating this awesome ball! Thank you Marjorie, our students will enjoy it for years to come!

Positive Connection Nights
During the month of October, we will be hosting two positive connection nights. Our PCNs are a great way to spend a Friday night. You'll be surrounded by friends, activity, and good food!
On October 5th, we will be screening "On The Ice." This movie follows two teenage boys in Barrow as they struggle to cope with and hide the murder of their friend. We will also have moose stew available if you're hungry!
On October 26th, we will have a Halloween celebration. You're encouraged to come wearing a snazzy costume! Watch our facebook page later in the month for more information about this PCN.
