Ivy Tech Day at Exploration Acres

Details from Kat (in student life) about this coming Saturday's Ivy Tech Day at Exploration Acres. Take the family--or a date! Have s'mores! Get engagement points! What more do you want?

Hello Presidents and Advisors,

I wasn’t planning to send this info out to the groups, but I’ve now had a couple of requests for it. So, might as well! Please share with your members.

Campus Activities Board is sponsoring a day at Exploration Acres, the corn maze not far from campus. From 12pm-1pm on October 1^st, any student (or employee) and two non-Ivy Tech guests can get in for FREE to farm! Your wristbands will be good for the rest of the day. We have a fire pit reserved from 2pm-5pm. Feel free to drop by. I’m sure smores will happen! This event can be a really great team building opportunity/social activity for your student organization. If you or your members are interested, please sign up in the Student Life Office. Or feel free to email me, and I’ll add your name to my list.

A couple of important things to remember:

·         To get in free, you must check in between 12pm and 1pm on the 1^st.

·         You also MUST bring a current Ivy Tech ID to get in free.

·         If you have more than 2 non-Ivy Tech guests, the cost for each additional guest beyond your two is $7.50. The cost can be paid at the group admission window.

Art and Essay Contests! Scholarship and Travel Opportunities!

NISOD (and gosh, I wish I knew what that stands for--the organization's website is unenlightening on that score) is sponsoring an art contest, and an essay contest--both open only to community college students. There's good prize money being offered, and the winner gets to travel to present his/her art or essay. For more details, click on the links below.
