According to Google, Rosh Hashanah starts at sunset on Wednesday, September 28th, 2011.
Here is a list of activities & events for you to do during Rosh Hashanah week in order to keep yourself busy:
 
1. Desifest
Description:Desifest is one of SASA’s events held every semester to spread more awareness on campus about the South Asian culture. The event includes free food, drinks, henna for girls (and boys if they’re interested), cricket and desi music!!
For food we have Bhelpuri, which is a famous South Asian vegetarian snack, and mango juice. So you must all swing by to grab a bite or try your luck at cricket.
