A MESSAGE FROM ASI PRESIDENT NIKKI MAJIDI | |

Happy Fall Beach Nation!
The semester is going by so fast, I can't believe it is already week 8! I hope your midterms are going well. Don't forget to take time to rest and recharge, and we have some events coming up to help you do so!
Pups & Props: Today we have our Pups & Props event at the USU North Lawn. Come out, learn about propositions that are on your ballot and PET PUPPIES! It's a great opportunity to decompress from exams.
ASI Night: Come out and show your Beach Pride at our ASI Night at the women's volleyball game on Friday, Oct. 18. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the game starts at 7 p.m. Don't miss out on a chance to support our women's volleyball team and win a brand new Elbee shirt!
Voter Registration: We are in a statewide competition called the Ballot Bowl to get as many students as possible on campus registered to vote. We are almost to the home stretch. Use this link to register or check your status: Online Voter Registration | California Secretary of State. Help us out to become the top school this year!
I wish you the best of luck on your midterms and don't forget about self-care!
Go Beach!
Nikki Majidi
