Have a great Spring Break!


Are you excited about Spring Break?! To celebrate, we will not be having a meeting this upcoming Monday. Enjoy!

Academic Haven is today! We'll be in GOL 2400 every Thursday from 4:00pm - 8:00pm. If you need a space to work on your homework, project, or study, come stop by!

Thank you to everyone who joined up for our CaPS workshop this past Monday! We hope you learned more about how negative self-talk presents itself and how to combat it with self-compassion. As always if you have any feedback about our event, please feel free to let us know!

The Tiger Games

Join us from April 8th to April 9th for our premier game jam, the Tiger Games! A game jam is a 24-hour event where all participants create games from scratch for the chance to win prizes. Everyone is welcome regardless of their experience in game design. We'll have swag, food, and a workshop to help you prepare. If you have any questions about our event, please email us at coms@rit.edu.
