From Pennoni Honors College Newsletter:

Free Spring Fest
On Thursday, May 14th, 6 to 9 p.m., Campus Crusade for Christ will host its Spring Fest with food, live music, and volleyball at Buckley Green. All are welcome to attend.
For more information, contact Charles Gibson at ckg24@drexel.edu.

On the one hand, free food. On the other hand, Campus Crusade for Christ. Double-plus un-good if [name redacted] shows up. And the music is probably going to be Christian thrash-core, which is only interesting in theory.

AnthonyVG’s thoughts on this: Now that they changed the picture in the DDD, I remember this event. It’s okay to go, they don’t force anything on you. Just expect long lines, they’ll be bbq’ing food (and normally college kids don’t grill well). Expect burgers, dogs, snack foods and soda.

You think you know who you are. You have no idea.

The Office of Commuter, Graduate and Transfer Student Programs and Services invites
you to a free screening of Crash followed by a discussion. Winner of 3 Oscars, 30 other awards and 18 nominations, this film brings out bigotry and racial stereotypes. The movie is set in Los Angeles, a city with a cultural mix of every nationality. The story begins when several people are involved in a multi‐car accident.

The screening will take place on May 13th in Stratton 113 at 6:30 PM. Refreshments will be served. For more information contact Tanvi Nayar at tn66@drexel.edu.
