Junior Noah Billeaud-LeHotsky explains a Nerf Blaster’s capability of projecting foam darts across the Student Commons to a trio interested in the co-curricular club which holds Nerf wars, a different way to relieve tension. (Go figure.) Keeping an open mind about the Nerf Club are sophomore Jason Grana and juniors Cade Couvillion and Matt Fuentes. The second and final hour of Rush 2014 takes place Thursday, September 11, in the Commons.

Blue Jays looking to become involved in co-curriculars — but can’t decide which activity or club is right for them — should visit the Student Commons at lunch time on Thursday when the second of two Rush Days unfolds in the span of a single rushed hour.
Some 30 different clubs and organizations will be on display Thursday, and most will feature sales pitches from current members who are knowledgeable and enthusiastic, if not downright chipper. On Wednesday, September 10, 30 other co-curriculars occupied the center space of the Commons for what was Rush Hour I. View the schedule below to see which clubs and organizations are on display Thursday.
Blue Jays are encouraged to explore their passions, try new things, become involved, and develop leadership skills through a multitude of student activities and co-curriculars.
A good place to start is by visiting the Student Commons at lunch.
