Frosh Week
Frosh Week – September 9-18, 2009

Frosh Retreat – September 18-20, 2009
The one event you can’t miss! An all-inclusive weekend retreat specifically for first years, this is the best way to get to know your fellow PP’s and meet older, wiser students. For many students, it’s the best memory of all first year.
Activities may include drinking, swimming, rock climbing, eating, drinking, sports, movies, canoe jousting, drinking, and of course, a bonfire! Tickets are available during Frosh Week from EUS executives or Spirit Coordinators.
