Okay, so it’s not Project Runway, but at least you can afford the clothes!
Come check out the Bookstore runway show, “Panther Fashion on the Concourse!” It’s Tuesday, September 7th at noon.
The fashion show will feature some of the new clothes the UWM Bookstore has to offer, all modeled by students! There will even be a steel-drum band serenading our supermodels down the runway.
Don’t miss the show! Noon sharp! See you there!

Still in the summer mood for some outdoor activities? How about a night of socializing over a game of bowling and pool? Just because school has started, doesn’t mean this isn’t an option!
The Union’s Recreation & Adventure Center have a wide variety of activities and trips. To see what they all have to offer, stop in TONIGHT for Discover Milwaukee. It will be going from 6:00-11:45 in the Union Recreation Center.
They will give you some enjoyable information that can keep you entertained throughout the school year, not to mention you’ll get FREE FOOD, soda, and a photo.
See you there!

The Experience Diversity at the UWM Zelazo Center is beneficial for incoming multicultural freshmen!
This five-hour event starts at 12:30pm with various campus departments and services speaking to these freshmen, UWM professors from all sorts of academic fields and even current UWM student panelist speakers.
Representatives from B.O.S.S., UW Credit Union, the LGBT Center, Roberto Hernandez Center, Student Association and Women’s Resource Center are just a few great departments that are helping facilitate this great experience!

Hey everyone,
So, here’s my official report on the “Discover SCUBA” Campus KickOff activity I did this afternoon: absolutely mind-blowing!
Like I said in an earlier blog, I suspected there would be some sort of training before we got into the water at Klotsche Pool. The guide could only take a group of eight people, so we all signed the paperwork and got a quick overview of rules to ensure our safety.
Then, we jumped in the water. First everyone practiced breathing in the SCUBA gear, and then it was time to go under. We did some exercises just beneath the surface in the shallow-end of the pool so we wouldn’t panic when 15-feet under the water in the deep end. Then we all did a quick lap under-water in the shallow end.
After that, the SCUBA teacher used hand motions under water to guide us towards the diving end of the pool.
As soon as we all approached the drop-off, someone standing near the pool threw a bunch of diving toys and plastic rockets in the pool for us to play with.
The next half hour was just AWESOME! Everyone swam at the deep end of the pool and stayed submerged the whole time! We did flips, played catch with plastic rockets, and found a couple Band-Aids! There was even a window under the surface at the deep-end where you can see all the equipment that cleans the pool in an adjacent room!
All-in-all, this Campus KickOff activity was an A+.
If you want to try it for yourself, don’t fear! Discover SCUBA is being taught again tomorrow, September 1st, 2010 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. There’s a class at 1 p.m. and another around 3 p.m.
Happy diving!

I’m beyond excited for today’s event! It’s called “Discover SCUBA” and is being held at the Klotsche Pool from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
It’s my final year here at UWM, and I have wanted to try this SCUBA event EVERY year, but something always comes up (AKA, I’m lazy and forget about the event).
However, this year is different! I have nothing going on, and am dying to finally dive deep into the Klotsche Pool. I’m guessing there’ll be some sort of training for a while beforehand so nobody drowns or has a panic attack while 10-feet-deep underwater. I’m just wondering how much time I’ll get to swim around down there?
I’ll make sure to update soon to let y’all know how it went. There’s another class scheduled for tomorrow, so if you miss today, check it out from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. tomorrow!
Wish me luck!

Hey all!
There are only a few more days left of summer vacation, but that’s no reason sulk at home! Hit the Union Theatre tonight at 7 P.M. to catch Hellboy, part of the Theatre’s Monster Movie series.
Personally, I think this movie is awesome, and I have honestly seen it over 20 times. Superheroes? Action? Monsters? Count me in!
So, don’t forget. The only Campus KickOff event for tonight is Hellboy in the Union Theatre. It’s FREE and totally open for anyone who want’s to participate.
I’ll see you there!
