SLU Student Involvement Center

It’s a lot, . Which means we’ll need TWO slides this week!

We must continue to remind our dear clubs and orgs…PLEASE keep your events updated and accurate in SLU Groups. That’s where we go to get the info for this calendar and we want it to be as accurate as possible. Putting that the location is “SLU,” is NOT sufficient.

As usual, this is still only a partial list of what’s going on…for more, visit SLU Groups through your MySLU account or via groups.sluconnection.com/events

Want your CSO to be featured on future weekly updates? You need to make sure that the most accurate information (date/time/location) is filled out on SLU Groups. **DM is your events and TAG us in your stories and we’ll share those too!**

A limited number of tickets to Six Flags Fright Fest on October 11 are available for both SLU graduate students and undergraduates to purchase for $15: https://billpay.slu.edu/C20197_ustores/web/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCTID=2443&FROMQRCODE=true
👹🌙🦇 👿

Please note the following:

📧Use your slu.edu email address to purchase tickets. The Student Involvement Center will only use slu.edu emails to let you know when the tickets arrive.

☝🏻Only one ticket is available per student.
Individual tickets must be picked up in SLU’s Student Involvement Center (BSC 319) AFTER we email you that tickets are available. We do not have the tickets yet.

🎟️ Once tickets are sold out, we will not purchase additional tickets, so please do not hesitate to purchase your ticket.

🚙 Transportation to Six Flags must be arranged on your own.

Just a heads up that the SLU Groups portal (accessible through your MySLU) used by our student organizations appears to be undergoing some maintenance. Members may experience some delays when attempting to submit events today. We appreciate your patience!

Billikens After Dark is getting spooky for our Friday the 13th movie night. Let's stick together for the screening of US (2019) while we nom-nom delicious popcorn. Grab your favorite Billiken and some outdoor blankets for seating. The movie will start at 8 p.m. on the University Quad. You do not want to miss this scare!

We hope all of our are getting back in the swing of things…That extra day off didn’t hurt! Just another reminder to all our clubs and orgs…PLEASE keep your events updated and accurate in SLU Groups. That’s where we go to get the info for this calendar and we want it to be as accurate as possible.

A supportive crowd packed onto the steps of the Jonathan Smith Amphitheater to cheer on both SLU and citywide National Pan-Hellenic Council organizations as they stepped and strolled under the shadow of the Clock Tower Wednesday night at Fall Welcome’s annual NPHC Step Show.

Are you registered to vote in November? Whether you’d like to cast your ballot in a home state other than Missouri, or are hoping to express your political will right here from campus, the Center for Social Action can help guide you through the process. Our policy pods give students the opportunity to advocate for causes important to them and our and .college.democrats clubs (on Instagram) provide politically-minded students spaces to gather with like-minded peers.

Hey, …We’re so happy to have you all back on campus! Just a reminder to all our clubs and orgs…PLEASE keep your events updated and accurate in SLU Groups so that we can share the right information.

And if you’re trying to get more involved, be sure to start following the accounts of the orgs that look like they might interest you!

If you close your eyes you can still feel the garage floor bouncing. Thanks to everyone who made the trek to Olive Compton Friday night to get loud and colorful with Paint SLU…Especially our endlessly energetic Oriflamme paint slingers and hype dancers!

We’ll have photos from Paint SLU, as well as some of our other Fall Welcome events posted soon at a link in our IG bio.

Hope everyone gets a good night’s sleep tonight because it was a busy, busy weekend. Our Billikens kicked things off Friday night with the Spirit Competition on route to Hermann Stadium to watch women’s soccer face off against BYU. And of course it wouldn’t be a SLU Fall Welcome without a massive centerfield game of Rock Paper Scissors! 💙🪨 📄 ✂️ ⚽️ 💙

Tonight Simon Rec Center hosts one of our signature Fall Welcome events, CU@the Rec. This event showcases all of our campus dance groups and even gets some of the audience in on the action.
