Calling All Lip Dubbers on Thursday at Noon!

There will be an informational meeting tomorrow, Thursday the 28th, at 12 noon in room 414. We will be cover the basics about what a lip dub actually is and what the goal of this particular lip dub is. We will also be handing out lyric sheets and taking volunteers for lead lip syncers (maybe we’ll even watch a few lip dub examples!). Attendance is not necessary, but if you know you will not be able to make the meeting but still want to participate, please email Ashley Bickford and she will send you a lyrics sheet. If you are attending and can rope a few of your friends into going who may not have signed up, that would be absolutely splendid! The more is really the merrier.

Job Notices – Check the Bulletin Board

URock is often contacted by local employers looking to hire. Sometimes it is a strain on a business to conduct a wide scale employee search and so they look to the university as a reliable source of capable, talented employees. If you are job hunting, be sure to check the bulletin board outside of Beverly’s office for postings. We hang notices the minute we get them.

Student Discount Cards

Please pick up your laminated student discount card in the front office. See here for a list of businesses offering discounts.
