RSS Event Schedule
Everyone is invited and encouraged to come to all of our events! That's why we make it super easy for you to find out what's going on. We put as much as we can in this newsletter, but because it only goes out once a month, there are some events that are inevitably absent. Because of this, we have an event calendar on our website. We also frequently update our Facebook and Instagram pages, so be sure to follow us! Finally, we send text messages on the day of our main events. If you'd like to receive them, just reply to this email, contact your advisor, or give us a call at (907) 474-7871.

Join a Club!
A big part of college life is getting involved in things that you're interested in. Not only do you get a chance to make a difference or submerge yourself into your hobbies, but you get to do it with other, like-minded people who have similar goals in mind. Those friendships that you create may be just the thing you need to forge ahead. Also, a ton of organizations provide free food, so there's that.
Here are some of the organizations we're involved with:
