BGSA Holiday Party: Jingle Bell-curves Rock
Hey BGSA!
This year’s Biology Holiday Party “Jingle Bell-curves Rock” will be on Thursday December 5th at the Thompson House. Doors will open at 6pm, and dinner will be served around 7pm.
It’s going to be a great night filled with food, entertainment from your very own BGSA, and lots of dancing! Also this year we will be holding the first ever departmental lip syncing contest! I know we’re all a very competitive bunch as was demonstrated at this year’s pumpkin carving contest so please sign up to participate (email Kiyoko with your name and song) and bring your A-game because I know we are :D
If lip syncing is not your thing, but you still want to compete in something, there will also be a baking contest with details on that coming soon from Dieta.
Bring all your labmates, profs, staff and significant others!! Especially this year lets all really try to get our profs to come out like they used to in previous years!
