Iftar Potluck International Club

Sunday, April 7
7:30pm - 10:00pm

Jarvis Hall Room 103

Add to Google Cal,Outlook,Yahoo,iCal

Join us for an evening on the second of April 7th at 7:30 pm for some delicious food, great company, and memorable moments. This is the perfect opportunity to meet new friends, enjoy different cuisines, and learn about Ramadan traditions.
Here's how it works: Each participant will bring their own dish to share with the group. Please do not bring any pork, and try to limit your cooking to vegetarian dishes. Whether it's your mom's famous biryani or your own homemade hummus, we can't wait to taste what you've got! You'll get the chance to try a variety of different foods and learn about the cultural significance of each dish.
Our goal is to create a welcoming environment where you can feel at home, connect with other students, and celebrate Ramadan in a fun and meaningful way.
So mark your calendars, gather your friends, and get ready for an unforgettable Iftar Party Potluck! We can't wait to see you there.

Blue Devil Productions is proud to present our Large Show of the semester: The Astronomers with Adam Paddock.

The Astronomers are the band you can't help but root for. Led by frontman Michael Stensland and producer Ben Baker, the duo boasts a dynamic and energy-filled performance that blends pop, rock, and electronic elements, resulting in a sound that's uniquely their own.

From opening for worldwide-known names such as Dua Lipa, Waka Flocka Flame & MAX, to selling out his debut headlining show (a venue upsize occurred, too), to selling out venues as an opener all within the past year, Adam Paddock's live show is something to write home about. Trumpets, electric guitar, bass, drums, and powerhouse vocals are the core of this act.

Mental Health Tips – Safe Alcohol Use 

“First you take a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you.” – F. Scott Fitzgerald 

Spring is almost upon us! It’s that time of year when we embrace fresh air after being locked inside, and the possibility of warmth and sunshine. It is a time of fresh beginnings! But, for many college students, spring doesn’t feel like it has fully arrived until the school year is over, in particular because you are trying to wrap up the year, there are a lot of finals and projects, and it can all feel very overwhelming. As such, spring is also a time in which students embrace partying full-on as a way to relax and have fun amidst everything going on. There’s nothing wrong with a little partying, but it’s so important to remember to party smart, especially as it relates to drinking. This means keeping an eye on your best friends, and looking out for classmates you aren’t close with. It’s your choice whether you choose to engage in consuming alcohol or not, but if you do choose to drink, make sure to know your limits and have a plan. Here are some tips to consider:  

  • Know your BAC (Blood Alcohol Content). A BAC of .10% means that a individual’s blood supply contains one part alcohol for every 1000 parts of blood. .08% BAC indicates legal toxicity.
  • Knowing your BAC can help you make responsible decisions when drinking.  
  • Avoid drinking games. These games tend to make you drink more, which leads to faster intoxication. Consider skipping the drinking game or replace your drink with water while playing the game.  
  • Have a plan. Know when to say “no” to another drink, know what time you want to be home by, and plan for a safe way to get back home.  
  • Have a buddy. Someone you trust that can help keep you on track for your plan.  
  • Know what’s in your cup. A standard drink varies depending on what you are drinking. Below are different amounts of alcohol which all equal 1 standard drink.  
    • Standard Beer: 12oz 
    • Standard Wine: 5oz 
    • Standard liquor: 1.5 oz
