Now that the spring semester is in full swing, it's time to take a look at the upcoming activities on campus and the events going on in Hamden and New Haven.
As usual, every weekend there are fun and creative events sponsored by QUAD, as well as the Student Programming Board.
A major event that is fast approaching is Spirit Week, beginning Feb. 17 with the Bobcat Bash in Alumni Hall.
Events include Appreciation Day, Organizations Day, Favorite Sports Team, Blue and Gold, and Athletics Days (respectively).
Another event to look forward to is WQAQ's annual Battle of the Bands on Feb.29, with the time to still be announced.
If you are looking for some things to do off campus,Toad's Place in New Haven will be hosting a variety of performers over the next few months.
The "I Love Hip-Hop" concert will be held on Feb. 13, hosted by Hot 93.7's DJ Buck, in celebration of Black History Month.
Other concerts include Grace Potter & the Nocturnals on Feb. 22, Keller Williams on Feb. 27, a local band showcase, featuring Not for Nothing, Falling Stickmen, and more on Feb. 28 and Say Anything on March 27. For more information on upcoming concerts at Toad's Place, check out their Web site at www.toadsplace.com.
Back on campus, QU STAND and the International Human Rights Law Society will be co-sponsoring a preview of "Darfur Now", a documentary investigating the genocide taking place in Darfur, Sudan, on Thursday, Feb. 22 in Alumni Hall. The screening begins at 6:30 p.m., and includes a guest speaker, Professor William O'Brien from the School of Communications.
The first full week of March will be Diversity Week. Planned during the diversity retreat earlier this year, Diversity Week will promote awareness towards multiculturalism and inclusion. If you've seen the blue and yellow bracelets circulating around campus, you may already know that the purpose of them is to ban discrimination and racism, which goes hand in hand with Diversity Week.
