March 8, 2012
The second annual CommUniversity, a celebration of Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ, will feature more than 80 groups providing a variety of free food, entertainment, art, culture, information, tours, and scientific displays and demonstrations from 4 to 7 p.m. March 13 in the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Pond Student Union.
"Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ and the communities of Southeast Idaho are closely linked and we again want to celebrate that relationship," said Mark Levine, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ director of Marketing and Communications. "This event invites the community to come to Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ and enjoy free food and entertainment and the opportunity to learn more about this great institution."
Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ is inviting adults, children, families, businesses, organizations and everyone in surrounding communities to come to campus. CommUniversity is a joint effort by volunteers from local communities and Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ to connect, support, and foster a strong spirit of mutual support, according to organizers.
Events planned are too many and too varied to list here, but highlights include:
• Performances by students from Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ music and theater departments.
• Tours of Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ's new Research and Innovation in Science and Engineering Building on Alvin Ricken Drive
• Free food, which will begin being served at 4 p.m., includes hotdogs, ice cream, popcorn, lemonade and a potato bar.
• Other options include health screenings, visiting the Idaho Museum of Natural History and much more.
• Free bowling and pool at the Pond Student Union game center.
Parking for the event is free at the Pond Student Union and Frazier Hall parking lots.
