This week has been so busy, and it's only Wednesday (5 weeks til FIRST WING NIGHT BACK) with September creeping up quickly!
On Monday we announced our headline band for the Frosh Week concert is Down With Webster! The response so far has been great, and I am super excited to see these guys live... been watching their videos a lot over the past few months it should be an unreal show!
One of my favourite aspects of my position is putting together the artwork for events. It's a fun creative outlet, and the past few weeks has been very busy creating artwork for events, the Glow t-shirts, Frosh Kits and other promotional material.
Today we also announced the event for the Thursday of Frosh Week which is Yuk Yuk's On Tour Comedy Showcase with Graham Kay, Bryant Thomson and Paul Warford. Wylder and I saw Graham perform at COCA and he was hilarious. This guy has performed on MuchMusic's Video on Trial and on shows with Dave Chappelle and Sarah Silverman - guaranteed to make you giggle. You can find the event page here!
Besides Frosh Week I have also been working on The U Wall Calendar. This project is pretty big as it involves adding in every event on campus for the entire year with sponsorship, graphics, etc - but it's starting to come together! We will be distributing the calendars (for free) on Welcome Day and at Society Night, so be sure to stop by and pick yours up!
One exciting addition to the wall calendar this year is that dates to order your Local Food Box from Voices Antigonish. Voices Antigonish is a "volunteer community group working to bring about local, healthy, and sustainable food options for residents, particularly in the downtown core, of Antigonish". They offer a local food box program where you order a box of locally grown produce - an awesome opportunity for students living Off-Campus or in Apartment Style or Govs to support local food and get some lovely produce for cheap! You can find out more info about this program at their site. I ordered mine today and I'm excited for it arrive in August (nom nom).

Also today I heard from out contact at the Student Life Network that they have done an upgrade to the design of their Networks. This means that our Social Network has a new streamlined look which I am pretty excited about. It is easier to locate discussions, to filter the marketplace for exactly what you're looking for and all the features are a bit more accessible. For those of you who haven't checked out the Social Network, it is StFX's exclusive social network for X students. It has some unique aspects such as The Marketplace - a perfect place to buy and sell textbooks, coordinate drives to Hali, and more; and Discussions - a place for students to discuss hot topics on campus, seek advice from fellow Xaverians and more. Be sure to check it out at http://social.theu.ca!
Other things I've been working on are putting together out Ad Package for the year, working with the Marketing Team to get them ready for the school year, putting together some training documents for HP/VPs and Society Presidents as they relate to the Comm Office, working through a few more updates to theu.ca and a re-branding strategy for our clothing store! There will be more updates coming from me soon related to The Inn and more, we'll keep you posted!
Hope everyone is having a great Wednesday,
