Hall Programming Recap
Third Beallians got up to a lot of exciting activities during J-Term! I cannot believe we fit so much into just 4 weeks.
We started off strong with Beall Ball and a lot of snow. We also had Asia Fest, the first block party of the year, which allowed students to dress up, eat food, watch performances and perform! On Martin Luther King Junior day students had service seminars or got to go off campus and participate in different projects in the community.
The students had a chance to explore many interests during their various J-Term classes. A few students on the hall traveled during the second J-Term session; they went to Japan, Europe (London, Paris and Rome), Iceland, Morocco, New Zealand and Australia!! The students who stayed on campus got to have another day of snow and enjoyed hiking, entrepreneurship, breadmaking, board games (and math), stop motion animation, and many more courses.
If you want to donate any supplies or snacks for hall events in February, check out the amazon wish list or the hall snack sign-up!

Africa Fest
“Grab your passports! We’re heading to Sikhadula! On February 22nd at 7:30pm in the Auditorium, we’ll be taking a flight to Sikhadula - a place where Black culture can thrive undivided by land and sea. Come with us to enjoy the various aspects of Black culture as we explore Sikhadula! We hope to see you there! This is a free event but we have limited seating so be on the lookout for tickets dropping soon!”
Senior Leadership Campus Service:
“The Senior Leadership Campus Service (SLCS) selection process is underway! Over twenty different assignments participate in this process which should help juniors find a senior campus service assignment they’re excited about. An overview of the process and the various positions can be found on the site. Please note that the SLCS process does not account for every senior campus service assignment. There are many opportunities for leadership in campus service to consider. Juniors should reach out to any employees that they may be interested in working with next year.”
Residence Halls Closing & Opening:
“Just a quick reminder that the Residence Halls will be closing on Thursday, February 27th at 5:00pm. Halls will reopen on Sunday, March 2nd at noon.
Students will submit an Overnight pass on Orah before or during our hall meeting right before the Extended Weekend. On this Orah pass, they indicate where they are going for the break, who they are traveling with, and how they are getting to their destination. If students have specific questions about checkout procedures for the Extended Weekend, they should speak to me.”
