Hey Class of 2021,
With Spring Break passing so soon and April arriving yesterday, we only have a few of more weeks until the semester ends. With Missouri's ever-changing weather, you can count on some more cold days for studying with a cup of tea at Whispers and some bright sunshine for a picnic in Forest Park. It's officially spring in St. Louis!
There are a lot of exciting events and opportunities as well as important deadlines approaching this month. Check out this month's Bear Bulletin to stay updated.
Don't forget registration for Fall 2018 classes -- you're almost finished with your first year! Save the date to celebrate the end of this milestone with us at First-Year Finale. See more information on the event and nominations below.
