Activities

Class of 2012

Welcome back sophomores! We hope you had a fantastic summer and that you’ve returned renewed and ready to tackle what promises to be a very exciting year for you. To some degree, you already “know the ropes” of CUA and are ready to propel yourself forward. You’ll be thinking about your major, studying abroad, internships, and your co-curricular involvement in ministry, student organizations, student government, and service. You may even be thinking already about where you might want to live next year. In any case, we wish you the best in making some important decisions, and hope that you will remain connected to CUA and discover many connections throughout your journey.

• Know your class council: They are Matt Cavanaugh (SAGA), Collin Colburn (SAGA), Dan Essig (SAGA), Leslie Martin (SAGA), Sarah Messer (Program Board), Chris Prudente (SFAB), Anne Roth (SAGA), Colin Schmitt (SAGA), and Roxanne Tourkay (SAGA). These are your representatives to SAGA, SFAB, and Program Board. They are here to serve you and to represent your needs and concerns.

• Get into the holiday spirit on December 4--it's Light the Season, CUA's Christmas Tree lighting.  There will be music, refreshments, and a visit from Santa!  Starts at 5pm on December 4 on the third floor of the Pryz.

• The CUA Presidential Search Committee wants your input!  Go to the Presidential Search Web site to fill out a survey, and also to see who is responsible for selecting the next president of CUA!
