Let's get this semester started!
Block Party is the ultimate start to the fall semester, filling campus with music, activities, and opportunities to connect. From 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, the front lawn will be alive with performances, interactive stations, complimentary refreshments, and spaces to gather with friends. This is a free, drop-in, welcome (back) event for the entire campus community to celebrate the start of the new academic year.
The celebration officially begins at noon with a welcome from Alec Dan, opening remarks from Dr. Paula Burns, and a performance by Coastal Wolf Pack, followed by student performances every 30 minutes starting at 12:30 PM.
The Department Fair runs from 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM in the A Foyer, giving students the chance to meet academic and service departments and learn more about the resources available on campus. Recreational games and creative activities will run all afternoon, ranging from lawn games to hands-on art projects. Complimentary snacks will be served hourly starting with burgers at 12:30, while supplies last.
