With summer approaching, it is important to know how to prevent skin cancer. There are tons of things that we need to watch out for when it comes to taking care of your skin in the sun. Come out to Skin Cancer Awareness tomorrow, Tuesday, April 26th, on the Greenspring Campus Quad from 11am-1:30pm to learn more about how to prevent skin cancer.

I look forward to late night breakfast every semester at Stevenson! Residents pay by using one meal swipe and commuters get in for free. There are pancakes (chocolate, blueberry, and plain), sausage, french toast, eggs, and tater tots!!! There was music by Scott Weasley, as well as an event where students could have their picture taken with their friend and had the picture put onto a mug!! It was a huge hit as always!

Bowling For Soup?! Live at our SU Gym?? That’s right! Bowling For Soup played live at the Owings Mills gym, as well as Patent Pending, Freshman 15, and Sandlot Heros! The concert was awesome as it was such a big hit! It is amazing to see SU grow in such positive ways! One of the nice gestures that Student Activities took part  in was allowing for there to be a dedicated day for all proceeds from ticket sales to go to Stevenson’s Relay for Life. So, not only does SU promote fun on-campus events, but they also are always willing to help with a great cause!

This is the first time that Stevenson has had a GreenFest! What is GreenFest? GreenFest is sponsored by the Environmental Club where we celebrate Earth Day! There was Free Organic Ice Cream and smoothies, face painting, as well as organizations that promote a green environment, such as Chesapeake Climate Action Network, One Straw Farm, Maryland League of Conservation Voters, and the Department of Natural Resources. Bet when you think of smoothies, you don’t think of bicycles right? Well think of it now!  You had the opportunity to make your own bicycle-powered smoothies!! This event was such a success with all the students that stopped by and showed their support!

I had a blast at the Charity Bingo for March of Dimes hosted by Phi Beta Lambda! It was only $10 per ticket for awesome prizes and to support a great cause! All of the proceeds went to the March of Dimes, which helps families with sick and premature babies. Some of the prizes were a 32 inch Vizio TV, a Kindle touch, a 10 person Orioles vs. Yankees Game Day Package, gift cards, Vera Bradley Items, and great door prizes! I love when we have events like this because it is a great time with great prizes, while helping for a great cause, all at the same time!

Sometimes students just need to get off campus for a day! SU is completely understanding of this and offer off-campus shuttle trips. This weekend’s trip, Saturday, April 21st, is to the Baltimore Inner Harbor!! The shuttle will leave from Ratcliffe at 12, 2, 4, and 6. The last pick-up is at 8pm. This gives students a variety of time to explore downtown Baltimore and have a good time!!

So there is this strange rumor going around campus that there is free ice cream! I told my friends that they shouldn’t joke about something so exciting. Come to find out, it was NOT A RUMOR! The Community Engagement Committee are hosting specific days where students, faculty, and staff can enjoy free ice cream from an ice cream truck on campus! Another good thing is that there is sugar free and gluten free treats on the truck! Keep an eye out!

We raised a total of $34,050 in Relay For Life this year! Being our second year of participating, I think that amount raised is phenominal! 529 people showed up for the event, with 44 different teams! We made about $10,000 more than last year!  With all the help and support throughout the school year, we were able to raise more. This is one of our largest events and we are proud for all that we raised!  The money raised will go to the American Cancer Society. Get involved!

“Shatter the silence; stop the violence.” Most types of violence, such as sexual assault, abuse, and domestic violence are often considered “crimes of silence” because not many people report the crimes and our society does not feel comfortable discussing the truth about violence. With the stories that survivors share, it helps other survivors know that they are not the only one. With all of us being aware, it is the beginning to a positive change.

The event takes place Monday, April 16th at 7 pm in Ratcliffe for an info-fair and then moves to the quad for a candlelight vigil. Please join us in making a difference!
