Alright Mavericks, it is the first full week of February. As January may have seemed to drag on for a little too long, it is now a new month with more things to look forward to. Students you are on the fourth week of school. Which means after this next week there are four more weeks until spring break. To keep you occupied from planning and getting excited for your break plans here are some things happening on and around campus this week.

PAC is hosting this event from 6 – 8 p.m. No need to go to Vegas with this event right on campus. There is also a Speed Friending event on Wednesday night.
