Wow I can't believe we're more than half-way through August. This summer went by waaaay too fast, but I am SO EXCITED for everyone to arrive!! I can't wait for the rest of my roomies to move back in, for campus to be full of students and most importantly FROSH! We're less than 3 weeks away from Welcome Day and it's just crazy - I can't wait to experience Frosh Week all over again. This week has been so crazy busy because there are so many things to finish up for Frosh Week, but also for the launch of The Inn and for planning for the rest of the year. My office kind of dabbles in everything and it's all kind of happening at once, so it's been pretty crazy.

I am working on getting the Wall Calendar proofs together to send to our printer next week - working with Wylder, we've tried to solidify as many events as possible for the year so that the calendar includes as many dates as possible. We also have all the home varsity games listed and other important University dates on there, so it will be a one-stop shop for dates. These Wall Calendars will be available on Welcome Day and on Society Night (September 10th) for free!

We had some pretty exciting developments with the Inn this week, especially with the announcement of our extended food service hours. We will be open Wednesday through Friday from 4pm-8pm for dinner! We've also added some new menu items (ahem, SPINACH DIP, BUFFALO CHICKEN BACON WRAP, YUPP). Be sure to like our official page, and check out the menu and events. 

Speaking of events, our Grand Re-Opening Party will be on September 14th feat. WRISTPECT and Sir Lancelot! Wristpect put on the biggest party of the year last November, and this is what Wristpect has to say about X "I don’t know what was up with these kids but this was definitely one of the wildest campuses we’ve ever played in Canada.. Hats off to the students at St. Francis Xavier University (your school sounds like it is a secret institution for X-men by the way), they party their asses off.." The Grand Re-Opening is going to be unreal, and I CAN'T WAIT! 

I've been working on and off to develop the preliminary stages of our Movember campaign. This year is going to be one for the books for Movember on campus! I've been in contact with Jesse from Movember Canada as well as Sheridan College who ran a great campaign last year. We've got some great events in the work for the month, some awesome awareness pieces, t-shirts designs going on, etc. It's going to be unreal, so stay tuned for more on that! MO LOVE

If you haven't seen, there have been some great new additions to our clothing store, now rebranded as The Shop! Be sure to follow The Shop on Twitter (@u_theshop) to keep up to date on new inventory (be sure to check out those NEON SNAPBACKS)!

Today I finished up the designs for the X-Ring Eligibility forms ahhh, so terrifying that it's only 107 days until that golden ring will be on our fingers! Other projects on the go include updates to theu.ca, development of a Social Media Policy for the Students' Union, and listening to as much DOWN WITH WEBSTER as possible!

That's all for now, have a great weekend folks!
