This Friday, celebrate the 90s with Bulls Nite Out: Bulls Bringing it Back. From 9 p.m. to 12 a.m. in the MSC Ballroom, celebrate the first Friday of the new semester with 90s themed fun and games.

WOW events aren’t only limited to the weekdays. On Sunday, the Argos Grill and Chill event will be held for the Beta, Castor and Kosove Hall residents in the Beta Hall area from 3 to 5 p.m. This event is a great way to mingle with all the different people in neighboring halls and make new friends along the way.
