A message from the Camosun College student society: September 5, 2012 issue

Columns Magazine Issue September 5, 2012

It can be hard to make new friends during the excitement and anxieties that come with the start of a new semester. While the student society offers many opportunities for meeting other students on campus, such as volunteering on committees and participating in clubs, this fall we’ll also be hosting a series of free pub nights.

To kick off the semester, September 13 will be our welcome week event, held at Maude Hunter’s. Students who attend can get $5 beer specials. In October we’ll have a college invasion pub night, as the student society will be hosting our Tight and Bright Reloaded: Even Tighter, Even Brighter event. Finally, our Beauty and the Geek college invasion night on November 22 will celebrate the end of the semester. (More details  on those events soon!)

While the themes and venues will make great atmospheres for socializing, there will also be raffles for prizes. Once you’re through the doors, your name will be entered into draws for great swag, including tickets to local sports events, gift cards, bookstore vouchers, and more.

We’re thrilled to be hosting these pub nights to provide safe spaces for students to have fun throughout the semester. On behalf of the Camosun College Student Society, to all new and returning students, welcome to Camosun! We hope to see you at the pub nights (and you must be 19 or older to attend these events, so don’t forget to bring two pieces of ID).
