Faculty/Staff Club Thursdays
4:30 – 6 PM in the Viking Room. The week’s food feature is “wings” (chicken and cauliflower). As always, all beverages are $1 off and soda is always free.
Jazz, Funk & Fun
In the Viking Room this Friday at 9 PM. The Dirk Quinn Band is a jazz/funk band that coincidentally bears the front man’s name. Based out of Philadelphia, the group travels extensively throughout the US and Canada. Utilizing over a decade of steady performing, they’ve developed a unique and sincere style – one that appeals to a wide variety of music listeners with fans ranging from the beard stroking jazz aficionados to the jam band hippies.
The band’s infectious energy and musical interplay routinely attract listeners that are admittedly more accustomed to lyric-based music. With great melodic sensibilities, rhythmic experimentation and an accessible modern edge, the Dirk Quinn Band is jazz/funk improvisation at its most engaging!

Fox Valley Literacy Orientation
Do you like tutoring and want to get connected within the Appleton community? Or are you interested in tutoring but don’t have any background in tutoring and maybe don’t know where to start? Well have no fear, an amazing opportunity is here!
The Fox Valley Literacy will be on campus in the cinema on October 25th at 4 pm to host an orientation for their tutoring program.
Volunteers will complete this first session of training, and a second session on their own, to be trained as a volunteer tutor to teach reading, writing, and math fundamentals at a high school equivalency, civics/citizenship, and English language learning. No background in tutoring or foreign languages is necessary!
We hope to see you there!
