Dear College Faculty and Staff,
As promised, this week I want to share more information about Family Weekend and the College's plans. On a high level, CAS families, who are on campus today and tomorrow, will be able to participate in tours of our facilities, a couple “Back to the Classroom” faculty presentations, a joint undergraduate student showcase and Dean’s Reception, and a session on job and internship support.
Our facility tours are most likely already underway. Families have the opportunity to tour SCDI and see some of our STEM labs, or they could choose to take tours offered by Art and Art History, the Imaginarium, Communication or Theatre and Dance. Our faculty presentations will give families a peek into what courses are like for their students. Virginia Matzek (Environmental Studies and Sciences) will present Habitat Restoration: It’s Not Just for Plants and Animals Anymore, and David Jeong (Communication) will present Media Psychology: Understanding the Effects of Social Media, Immersive Media, and AI.
This evening, over 30 students representing a wide range of CAS disciplines will be showcasing their work at our Meet the Dean Reception and Undergraduate Research and Creative Expression Forum in the Vari Hall Foyer. I will be giving a few remarks and meeting our Bronco families as they explore the great work our students are engaging in.
Finally, tomorrow, we will host a session on jobs and internship support, which will be facilitated by Katy Korsmeyer and Sarah Hays from our office. As we increase our focus and support of student internships, we want to make sure our families and students know of the resources and opportunities available to them.
In typical SCU fashion, I hope you will all welcome our Bronco families to campus and show them why it’s always a good day to be a Bronco!

Giants Have Us in Their Books
March 3 – 12, 2023: Thu-Sat 8 PM, Sun 2 PM | Fess Parker Studio Theatre
By José Rivera
Director: Karina Gutiérrez
Uncover captivating tales about the mysterious human race.
We grow up with storybooks detailing the life of Giants and other mythical creatures, but what happens when we become the subject of the fable? Written as if they were told by Giants, the six short fables in Giants Have Us in Their Books harness the simplicity of fairytales as they explore the complex reality of the human experience through magical realism, metaphor, and poetry.
Please be advised that Giants Have Us In Their Books contains mature language and sensitive topics including sexuality, ableism, hate speech and imagery, violence, sexual assault, anti-Semitism, and death. The performance contains a simulated gunshot sound effect. Recommended 13+. |
