HAPPY WEEK TWO! 

I hope that Week One treated you well and that your schedule has finally been finalized! The first week after break is always a bit strange but now we're well and truly into the semester so hopefully you're feeling closer to finding your groove. For those feeling comfortable in their academic settings, this newsletter contains some good options for getting out and about and socializing. 

The week is off to a welcoming, warm start but there's a good amount of snow in the forecast for Thursday... depending on the quality and amount of snow we're expecting, keep your eyes peeled for a possible special snow-based activity on Thursday evening!
