Battalion Welcome & Cookout
The Battalion is hosting a cookout at the lake on Friday, July 3 to celebrate Independence Day, and all staff is welcome to join us for the party. Party starts at 3:00 PM, dinner at 6:00 PM. 

The cookout will replace our welcome to the Battalion event for this quarter, so please come out and help welcome our newest batch of students. If you would like to eat with the Battalion, please RSVP for kitchen-provided meals, or bring your own! There should be grill space if you'd like to grill your own food once the burgers are finished cooking. Wear your swimsuits, bring your favorite outdoor games, or both! In case of bad weather, the party will be moved to the gym.
