Connection Night of this semester a success! If you haven't been to one of our PCN's before, you can expect a fun event and lots of food. We only have two more this semester, so be sure to mark the following dates on your calendar. Tonight, February 1st at 5:00pm, we will have an Open Mic Night. If you want to perform a song, comedy sketch, a reading, or almost anything else, please sign up when you get here. Otherwise, you're more than welcome to kick back, relax, and watch your fellow students show off their talents! Our last PCN this semester is on Friday, February 15th at 5:00pm. We'll be playing board games, video games, and decorating cookies. Once we get closer to the date, we'll post what kinds of games will be available on Facebook. Feel free to go to our page and let us know what kinds of games you'd like to play! |
