Students listen to community member Sister Cindy at Speaker’s Circle during the first week of classes. Speaker’s Circle is the one place on campus where people are allowed to publicly speak about anything they want to anyone who will listen. Speaker’s Circle is a great place to spend a break between classes and meet fellow students. 

Students flip through hundreds of posters to find the perfect decorations for their dorm rooms and apartments. The annual poster sale, held at Lowry Mall, offers anything from posters of video games and movies to pictures of landscapes and wildlife.
