FROM A MEETUP FOR ALL PEOPLE NAMED ALEX, TO TAYLOR SWIFT PAINT NIGHTS, TO FITNESS GROUPS, THERE’S A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING.
March comes marching in with this month’s edition of the Thryllabus! This catalogue is designed to help students find out about events going on across campus and get involved. Each listing is sorted by date, who sent it, when, where, and any other additional information to help students – and clubs – get where they need to go. As the semester reaches its end, why not take the time to check out some events? With fitness meetings, musicals, conferences, galas, and more, there’s something for everyone this month.
So go check into these events and enjoy some social time before exams swallow everything up. If you like what you see, tell ‘em the Fulcrum sent ya!
