Hello UVM,
There is so much going on at UVM in the coming weeks that it cannot possibly
fit in one email. I have posted a few upcoming events around campus on the
SGA’s announcement page. Please visit http://www.uvm.edu/sga/announcements.php

As the events surrounding Spring Fest begin, culminating with Cake and Particle
on the Bailey-Howe green, I am sure that there is an event for everyone. For a
complete list of Spring Fest activities visit http://www.uvm.edu/~bored/ (don’t
forget that tickets are still available for Mo Rocca and the Spring Fest Cake
concert). If you are interested in volunteering for the Cake concert please
