I hope everything went smoothly for you as you moved in. The transition to college life can bring great excitement as well as intimidation. The BSU can provide a place for you to connect with other students who are going through similar situations as well as older students who have been there before. We would love to have the opportunity to get to know you and walk alongside of you during this journey.
During the first week of classes we have several activities planned to help you connect with your fellow Bearcats and the BSU ministry. Here's what's coming up:
- Sunday, August 28: Open House - 6-8pm at BSU
Come by the BSU house and check things out! We are located at 401 W 4th, on the corner of 4th and Mulberry - just a few blocks from campus. Have some ice cream and nachos and meet new friends! - Monday, August 29: Dollar Dinner + Spoons Tournament, 6:15pm at BSU
Dollar Dinner is a beloved tradition at the BSU - a great homecooked meal for just a buck! Come enjoy a great meal and a friendly atmosphere and unwind after that tough first day of classes. After dinner at 7pm we'll be having a Spoons tournament. Don't miss the insanity! - Tuesday, August 29: Ultimate Frisbee, 7pm by Phillips Hall
Meet us out by the Phillips Hall tennis courts for some ultimate frisbee! - Wednesday, August 30: Scavenger Hunt + Campfire - 6pm
We'll start at the BSU at 6 for a photo scavenger hunt all around Maryville. Teams will end up at Mozingo Lake, where we'll cook s'mores and have a devotional time. Guaranteed to be a great time! - Thursday, September 1: Welcome BBQ + Worship - Thursday, September 1, 6pm at BSU
Come by the BSU for our welcome cookout at 6pm and enjoy some free food. Then at 7, stick around and join us for our first worship gathering of the semester. - Friday, September 2: Game Night, 7pm at BSU
A fun night filled with Telephone Pictionary, Mafia, Just Dance 2, card games and many others! If you have any games that you would to bring as well, please do!
I hope you have a fantastic year at Northwest and I hope I get the chance to meet you soon!
