Welcome back Bobcats! Hopefully everyone had a good first week back, especially after the very lengthy spring break we had this year (I still feel like it’s March). We are happy to announce that we’ll be having our first social event of the semester this Thursday, September 3rd at 6pm! We’ll be doing a virtual game night over Zoom, looking forward to see you there!
