NEW ANNOUNCEMENTS

 
Class change process streamlined at beginning of terms
Adviser signatures are no longer required to add or drop classes during the first three days of Fall Term or Winter Term. Starting the fourth day of the semester, instructor and adviser signatures will be needed to make changes to your schedule.

Performers sought for I-Club Cultural Show

I-Club is looking for individuals and groups to perform at the Cultural Show on May 6. All students are encouraged to participate in the event, which brings together students to share their talents and culture with the campus and Waverly community. Students are still needed to carry flags onto the stage to open the show (this will be choreographed). Students do not to need be from the country of the flag they are carrying, so this is a great opportunity for domestic students to participate. Individual and group entrants should consider these themes for their performances: rage/power, optimism, hopeless/doom, and doubt/sorrow. The optimism category already has several entrants; the exec team has examples if ideas are needed.
