This week, you can distract yourself from finals by volunteering for a local soup kitchen, joining group study sessions, or shopping at local businesses.

Here at Bwog, we do our best to bring your attention to important guest lecturers and special events on campus. If you have a correction or addition, let us know in the comments or email events@bwog.com.
