BC Dates Week

Hi everyone,
I hope you made it through the week and are ready for Marathon Weekend. As many of you know Marathon Weekend is one of the best weekends at BC and it doesn't get much better than cheering on your friends and thousands of random people in the Marathon on Monday. I hope everyone enjoys their Marathon Monday and has plenty of fun while staying out of too much trouble.

I just wanted to proudly announce that UGBC in conjunction with RHA will be hosting "BC Dates Week" this week from April 21st-24th 2009. The purpose of BC Dates week is to raise awareness in support of a dating culture on campus but also to address the current issues of our hookup culture. Both of these topics are sometimes uncomfortable to talk about openly so we want to provide a venue where students can discuss and learn about these issues without feeling awkward or embarassed. The schedule for the week is below:

Tuesday April 21st 2009 7pm, Merkert 127
Donna Freitas Lecture- Author of Sex and the Soul and Professor from Boston University. Freitas is someone who's work is consistently covered in courses across the nation and Freitas has interesting insights into the college hookup culture.

Wednesday April 22nd 2009 8pm, Higgins 300
Dating Game- Come out tonight to see a live dating game with some of your own friends and classmates participating in a fun filled event!

Thursday April 23rd 2009 7:30pm, Cushing 001
Student Dating Panel: Moderated by Kerry Cronin- Yes, they are out there, students who are dating! Come out to listen and learn from a group of students who are currently dating on campus. The panel will be moderated by our BC dating Guru Professor Kerry Cronin!

Lastly, at all of these events a group known as BC Harmony will be passing out surveys to help match you up with someone of similar interests! If you are interested in potentially going on a date please make sure to come out to an event to fill out a survey so you can get matched up!


Again, Alex and I are really excited for this week to happen. It took a lot of planning given the amount of other projects that we are working on but we are eager to see it in action. If you have any questions or suggestions please feel free to contact us!

Happy Weekend,

-Al
