In partnership with the Division of Student Affairs, Miami student organizations, and University departments, the campus comes alive each weekend with  box office hits in Wilks Theater including Ant-Man, Minions, Inside Out, and Trainwreck. The Armstrong Pavilion will be transformed into a haunted house in October and a Casino in November!
