Vice President for Student Life Jon Dooley offers this weekly message to help students stay informed and prepare for the week ahead.
Welcome back to the return of the Sunday afternoon Phoenix Five. Each week, students will receive emails with five quick tips for the week – events students should consider attending or helpful information to know.
Men’s Basketball vs Campbell
Monday, Jan. 13, 9 p.m., Schar Center
The men’s basketball team is having a great season and this week they’ll be taking on Campbell University in a matchup that will air on the CBS Sports Network. Bring your energy to the Schar Center and cheer on the Phoenix!
- This game is also kind of a big “dill” – free t-shirts for the first 100 students, a pickleball game at halftime and fun pickle content throughout.
- At each conference game this season one lucky student will be randomly selected to win $100 in Phoenix Cash – but you have to be there to claim your prize.
- Also, during Winter Term you can get your Phoenix Phanatics pass punched at the marketing table for a chance to win a 42” smart TV.
