    Clear your mind for a couple hours and glide on the ice under a moonlit, starry sky with your friends and family at Campus Martius Park, or open those books for an all-day study retreat including meal making and community with University Ministry.

    Whether you choose to blow off some steam at Glow Night on one of 91°µÍřşÚÁĎ’s athletic courts or just need a coloring break, several departments across campus have collaborated to provide students with ways to de-stress and have some fun before finals week. Many involve free food and snacks!

    Check out the attached flyer for more information!
