“Our Time” (1½ - 3 years old)
Semester theme: Fiddle-dee-dee
This class encourages toddlers to uncover an engaging musical world while guiding confidence, self-control, and communications skills. Singing, imitating sounds, rhyming and object identification foster language skills. Creative movement to various musical “moods” develops a sense of balance, timing, and spatial awareness. Listening and turn-taking encourage blossoming social skills. Our Time reflects the emotional foundations of school readiness and the latest research on music and early childhood development. Tuition is $160 and is due by Thursday, Jan. 5.

Volunteer for Ask Me!

Student Affairs is continuing its efforts to welcome both new and returning students to campus on Monday, Jan. 9.

Please consider volunteering 30 minutes of your time to stand in key locations across campus with a cool “Ask Me!” sign and button to answer questions and get students pointed in the right direction for their classes or to conduct business.
 
If you can help, please sign up for a shift here. Thanks in advance for your assistance!
 

New Strength Equipment in the Student Fitness Center

The new year also brings new selectorized (weight stack) strength equipment to the Student Fitness Center.

As our old equipment saw more and more required repairs, we took the opportunity to trade in our old equipment to bring you a new line. In addition to our previous machines, we were able to add a fly/rear delt and a glute press. 

Our Fitness Attendants are happy to assist you in learning about the new equipment. You may also download the Cybex Fitness App via iTunes or Google Play to check out videos on each piece!
