What鈥檚 Happening on Campus
Traditions
The Student Activities office is dedicated to enriching campus life through unforgettable long standing traditions. From the vibrant energy of Fall Fest/Off the Hill Challenge to the spirited Women's Hockey Classic, we create opportunities for the students to connect, celebrate and build lasting memories. Our signature events include the magical Lighting of Our Village, the thrilling Citrus Bowl, and FebFest, a celebration to bring the warmth to campus during the winter months. These events plus many more showcase the heart and soul of our community.

The Student Activities Office is actively seeking proposals that include well-thought-out event concepts and/or themes that haven't quite been done before at 51猎奇. These events should be grand and unique - we want to hear all of your big ideas!
