Build-A-Friend

Date: Monday, Sept. 10

Time: 10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

Location: RSC First Floor

Cost: Free!

Hugs are an essential part of life, but sometimes you just don’t have anyone to hug. That’s where Build-A-Friend comes in! You can stuff, name, build a meaningful relationship with, and hug, a wonderful animal of your own this Monday at Build-A-Friend. Available animals range from the endangered Polar Bear to the classic Teddy; you can even make it your business to stuff a monkey! Because everybody needs a friend and supplies are limited, each student may only stuff one animal.

Monsters for Childhood Cancer

Date: Monday, Sept. 10

Time: 10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

Location: RSC First Floor

Cost: Free!

Does it scare you how much you love hugging monsters? Does it scare you how wonderful you feel while helping others? Come to Monsters for Childhood Cancer and stuff a friend for a child in need. There aren’t many cuter, more fun ways to help a community that deserves your love and attention.

Wednesdays at the Diner

Date: Wednesday, Sept. 12

Time: 5 – 8 p.m.

Location: The Lord’s Diner, 520 N. Broadway

Cost: Free!

Wednesdays at the Diner is a meal series where volunteers help provide food to Wichita’s communities in need. The mission of the diner is to serve others “with dignity and respect . . . 365 days a year,” and on Wednesdays, they provide transportation to any students interested in volunteering. You can register to volunteer at Wichita.edu/WednesdaysDiner.

Shockers After Dark

Date: Friday, September 14

Time: 8 – 11 p.m.

Location: RSC First Floor

Cost: Free!

Do you like paying for games, food, bingo, and activities and slowly watching your bank account disappear? If you answered “not really” to this question, come to Shockers After Dark for entertainment of all kinds for the low price of zero dollars! There’s no reason not to come reap the rewards of this Student Affairs-thrown event.

Mud Volleyball and Tug of War

Date: Saturday, September 15

Time: 12 p.m.

Location: Hughes Metropolitan Complex Fields

Are you ever bummed out that its not socially acceptable for anyone over the age of six to splash around in the mud? Be bummed no more! Get dirty and flirty at the SAC’s Mud Volleyball and Tug of War extravaganza. Register your team for less than the cost of a delivered pizza at Wichita.edu/sac. Grab a buddy and get muddy.
