Have a tight budget and many needs? It’s understandable, we all do. Not only do we need help, but we also need fun! Now you can stay on budget by taking advantage of these free activities on campus:
1. Monthly planetarium and observatory open house at the Physics building: Every second Tuesday of the month the Physics building opens its doors to the public. They offer small talks and demonstrations of their planetarium and observatory. Although the planetarium and observatory open at 7:30PM, it’s highly recommended to arrive early to Physics 448 since families, students, and everyone in the community comes to visit this site.

2. Bi-weekly yoga classes: Great for relieving stress after an exam or just as a form of exercise, every Tuesday and Thursday relax with some yoga. Even though it is free, you must bring your own mat, towel, and water. Make sure to get to the Natatorium room 113B before 5:00PM since spaces are limited.
