Late Night breakfast pandemic style

We may not be able to invite you down to Andrew Commons and have student life staff serve you a delicious pre-finals meal, but that doesn’t mean you have to go without.

Saturday, November 21st from 10 to 11 PM we will be serving homemade Giant Cinnamon Rolls from TWO LOCATIONS on campus. West campus residents (Colman, Brokaw, Hiett and Ormsby) can stop by Steitz Atrium. East campus residents (Trever, Sage, Execs and the Quad area) can stop by the Warch Campus Center 3rd floor Gallery. And Plantz (because you are special) can go to either location.

Don’t forget this Saturday night from 10-11 PM!

Friday Night Comedy in Warch

SOUP presents Reem Edan LIVE in the Mead Witter Room of Warch. 7 PM Friday, Nov. 13 night. And virtually on SOUP’s Instagram Live @LawrenceSOUP

Reem Edan is a first-generation Iraqi-American comedian born and raised in a small Colorado town — where she was literally considered “the diversity.” Growing up would’ve been easy if she wasn’t half-Sunni-half-Shiite, the middle child, overweight, and if her family didn’t move back to the Middle East one week before 9/11. Being the odd one out helped shape Reem’s quirky perspective.
