Crunch time for final projects and exams are ahead; find out what’s going on campus this month to keep you going through it.
Welcome to the November edition of our Thryllabus! This catalogue is designed to help students discover events across campus and get involved. Event listings are sorted by date, who sent it to us, when, and where! I recommend checking out as many general meetings as you can and then maybe stopping by for a dance session or two!
Curious about any of the events you see? Go check them out! As the month continues on, weekly updates will be provided on our social media to help remind readers of opportunities on campus. Go out and enjoy yourself during the crunch of November and let clubs know you heard it here first!
