End of the semester: LC Activities style


April is usually the most challenging part of the school year for everyone, other than finals, of course.


It's no different on the second floor of the Campus Center. April is crammed with events and celebrations to finish out the school year. But, OSA's final exam isn't until Laser Link Orientation in June.

Preparations for orientation are always ongoing, but it certainly accelerates now with future Lasers choosing Lasell every day. (Note: Industrial-sized Starburst is at the top of the early shopping list).

Not to mention, Commencement is just over a month away, and OSA has already started distributing announcements to seniors. Graduates are entitled to five free announcements each, and can purchase extras for $1 each. Note: Announcements shouldn't be considered tickets. Seniors can invite as many people as they want to the ceremony, but seating is first come, first served.

Looking even further ahead, OSA has openings for Front Office Assistants for both the Summer and Fall. It's a pretty good job to have, for obvious reasons. If you're interested in applying, applications are available in the front office during our business hours of 9 A.M. to 7 P.M. Monday through Friday. The deadline to turn in completed applications is April 18th.

With all of that to look forward to, there's still a lot to be done in the immediate future. Next week marks the beginning of Class Week, which will include a wide range of gatherings for each class.

There will be a barbeque exclusively for the Class of 2015 on Monday, April 10, from 5:00 to 7:00 P.M. in the Woodland Circle. Meanwhile, the Class of 2013 will be hosting a Celtics viewing party in the Campus Center that starts at 6:30 P.M.

On Wednesday, April 11, there will be breakfast for dinner from 4:30 to 7:45 P.M. in Valentine Dining Hall. The Class of 2014 encourages everyone to wear their PJ's to dinner that night.

Common Hour on Thursday, April 12, will feature a class T-shirt giveaway outside of Valentine Hall. Sophomore T-shirts will only be available at the Sophomore Connection, an event taking place in de Witt Hall during that time. At dinner that night, Valentine Hall will be converted into a Cupcake Creating Arena, as the classes will compete to see who can best decorate a cupcake.

Finally, Seniors will bring Class Week to a close with a celebration marking one month until graduation. The event will be held at Margarita's in Waltham from 9 P.M to midnight.

Class Week is just the beginning, though. Here's the rundown of some other events OSA is involved with this April:
  • Class Week Super Bingo (4/14 7:30 P.M. in de Witt)
  • Spring Fest T-Shirt Giveaway (4/17 during common hour outside Valentine Hall)
  • CAB Concert: Mike Studd (4/18 9 P.M. in de Witt)
  • The invitation-only Awards Banquet (4/19 6 P.M. in de Witt)
  • CAB Spring Carnival (4/21 3 - 7 P.M. in the Athletic Center)
