This notice is from the archives of The Notice Board. Information contained in this notice was accurate at the time of publication but may no longer be so.

The 2017 year will be filled with special events and activities. First on the calendar is the Founders’ Day Weekend on Jan. 13 and 14.

WE’RE INVITING THE WHOLE COMMUNITY TO HELP US CELEBRATE! JOIN US FOR FOUNDERS’ DAY WEEKEND, TWO DAYS OF FESTIVITIES AND FAMILY-FRIENDLY FUN.

Everything kicks-off with a FREE BBQ lunch in the Atrium on Friday, January 13th at noon.

In addition to the activities planned by the University, the Faculty of Arts & Science has many initiatives and events planned throughout the year. To start, we announced the UL50 Golden Jubilee Award which will have a positive impact on five deserving students. We will announce events and initiatives over the coming months, but for now we wanted to inform you about our Founders’ Day Weekend activities!
