Welcome Week
August 20-26
Saturday, 20th. At 7PM, one of our Somans will take anybody who wants to go on a Pokéstop tour of campus. You may think, 'Wow. These people are crazy.' And you're right. But we're the good kind of crazy. After the tour, come back to Soma and we'll enjoy pizza and a Pokémon movie!
Sunday, 21st. We know that first day of classes will be intimidating for most, so students from Soma want to show you where your classes are! Come to Soma at 12PM and we can have some lunch and hang out. Make sure to bring your schedule and you'll be given a customized tour of campus and you'll know where your classes are (and maybe how long it will take for you to get there! And you'd be surprised, 15 minutes between classes really isn't that much!)
Monday, 22nd. Every Monday during our fall and spring semesters we have a free meal (minus holidays and the ever-so-rare snow/ice day). The first Monday of the semester is no different! Come at 6PM and get a free meal made with love from one of our sponsoring churches or families. Afterwards, we'll play some board games and have some laughs. You don't want to miss it!
Tuesday, 23rd. I shouldn't have to point out that our game labeled "Suit & Tigers" is a pun on both Justin Timberlake and the University of Memphis! (See what I did there? Even if you didn't know it was a pun, you know now! You're welcome). This card game starts at 6PM and gives you the chance to rack up points and bid those points on cool prizes. And if that doesn't convince you, we're also having milkshakes!
Wednesday, 24th. What day is it?! HUMP D---Glow in the Dark Capture the Flag Day! At 8:30PM, we'll meet in front of the UC and go over some quick rules and point out the boundaries (Did I mention we're playing on southern portion of campus? EPIC.). So who doesn't love running around on campus?! (Maybe you. Especially since you realized that you have two classes on opposite sides of campus. Yikes.) After the game, head back over to Soma for some ice cream!
Thursday, 25th. Again, this is something that goes on weekly in both fall and spring semesters! Refuge starts at 7PM and is time of worship. Join us in singing, praying, and learning! To be honest, we usually follow Refuge with a 30 minute 'conversation' on where we should eat for our late-9PM-dinner. This time, we'll chill in the back yard and play some volleyball and badminton!
Friday, 26th. Finally! The door to the weekend! What better way to end your first week of school than to slip n' slide and eat sliders?! The fun starts at 5PM in the back yard!
