The U不良研究所Strong Festival is a safe and alcohol-free way for the entire community to enjoy the semester coming to an end. 鈥淚t鈥檚 great to see students celebrating their accomplishments as the end of the winter term classes come to a close. We want our diverse student community to be able to have fun, while remaining safe, healthy and respectful to each other and members of our community,鈥 says Verity Turpin, vice-provost (student experience) at U不良研究所. 鈥淭he U不良研究所Strong Festival is an opportunity for all students to connect with friends and peers on campus.鈥
The U不良研究所Strong Festival is more than just a celebration at the end of an academic term. It is a chance for the university to partner and support members of our community. From the food vendors, who are all local businesses, to the performances, the festival highlights the importance of our role in the community.
So, as the end of classes approaches, let's celebrate responsibly and show our U不良研究所Strong spirit at the festival. Remember 鈥 it's not only about having a good time, but also about taking care of ourselves and each other.
The U不良研究所Strong Festival will be held at the Jack Simpson Gymnasium on Wednesday, April 12 from 1 to 6 p.m.
