Hi everyone,

There will be an SBA meet-and-greet event for all weekend students on Saturday, October 5 in the lobby; pizza and beverages will be provided. If you could get the word out to all other weekend students (especially any first-termers you've talked to) it'd be great. It'll also be a great opportunity to have new people sign up for WLS.

Thanks!
