14 Days of Countdown

We are excited to welcome you back to campus this fall semester! As you self-isolate for two weeks in preparation for your arrival back on campus, our office has gathered activities and hosted programs to help you pass the time at home. 

Throughout the week, don’t forget to complete this RVSP via Presence (or simply click on the event title to be taken to the RSVP form). You’ll need the event registration code from the host to complete the form. For each event your attend and complete the RSVP form for, your name will be entered into a drawing for a $25 gift card to Fred Meyers and a local botanical store. This prize drawing is being generously sponsored by CAB (Campus Activities Board). We will select a different winner for both weeks. The listed activities are not eligible for the drawing.
