Students have been having a blast playing around in the mounds of snow, sledding, etc. Fortunately, we have not had a massive snowfall like this time last year-- *knock on wood*-- but there's still time since the little groundhog saw its shadow today.
Onto other news-- Owl City (yes, THE guys who sing Fireflies and my personal favorite, Vanilla Twilight) will be performing in our new ballroom later this month. Tickets sold out in a record 15 minutes to students and general public. I'm sure this will be a stellar performance.
** Other school related news**
It's that time of the year again-- time to file the FAFSA. "What is this FAFSA thing?," you may be thinking... FAFSA is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. You may file through paper or online (most people file online). www.fafsa.ed.gov. It allows students to possibly receive grant and/or loan money from the government based on your family's finances (including tax information). Grants = money you don't have to pay back and government loans = low interest rates. Payment for government loans typically doesn't begin until after college graduation. If you're from Illinois we also have the Illinois Neighbor Grant-- just being an Illinois resident coming to Valpo makes you eligible for between 1-5k per year... just make sure you file the FAFSA!
Make sure you have this filled out by MARCH 1, 2010!
My spring travel tour will be starting up next month, so I will put this out there again-- whomever comes up with the best (has to be clean) tour title will win a prize. Please have your submissions to me by Wednesday February 25, 2010, 12:00AM CST. Winner will be notified on February 28th.
I hope your week has been outstanding! Good luck to all those coming on campus this Saturday for the music auditions!
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to call or email me. If you haven't been on campus yet or would like to come visit again, we do have Admitted Student Days in March, and we can always set up an individual visit for you as well.
Remember-- be Legendary in your own way! Giddy UP!
