CAACURH 2009 November 18, 2009
Posted by Marina in : Fall 2009 , trackbackAS you all already know from my last blog, I spent the weekend in FABULOUS Pittsburgh and attended CAACURH at Pittsburgh University. Friday night was a blast at our orientation! All of the delegates sat around and watched the roll call videos we made. Unfortunately, ours was not submitted properly and was unable to play. However, BINGO and bowling in the Athletic building later made up for our spirit loss. Following BINGO, our delegation was off to bed – Saturday was going to be a LONG day!
Saturday we awake and rush out the door to find Curtis, our advisor. When walking around campus early Saturday morning to find breakfast, I took a picture of the Soldier’s Memorial:
Isn’t it breathtaking??? Breakfast, btw, was delicious!!! After the feast in their amazing dining hall, which includes a Pizza Hut and Taco Bell Express, we went as a group to the Cathedral – the 2nd tallest in the world. It is formally named the Cathedral of Learning:
I know, it’s amazing. But the best part is, I spent my entire day learning about different programs that could possibly benefit SU and our community!! Inside the Cathedral of Learning, I went through a couple different floors containing “rooms” dedicated towards different cultures i.e. Israeli room, Jewish room, etc… However, when learning in the classrooms, I really felt like a student. Wouldn’t it be awesome to have class inside a Cathedral??? The irony came into play when a Towson girl and myself realized we were in a program about censored sex ed – inside a Cathedral. Woops – oh well.
Anywho, we ended programming, had an AMAZING lunch, and continued onto a team building workshop. Mind you, CAACURH is a leadership conference, so we all worked together as a delegate to come up with ways to improve Stevenson University. It was a lot of fun trading our clothes pins and talking about how awesome SU is. We finally received a break in the day, where we goofed around in the streets of Pittsburgh. Our advisor Curtis made us stop to take this strikingly handsome picture:
Yes, they put a t-shirt on their mascot statue. Maybe because there was a huge game going on? Who knows. Anyway, later in the evening, we had our banquet in the Soldiers Memorial Banquet Hall, where a famous scene from Silence of the Lambs was filmed!!!! Oh my gracious, it was SO exciting! But after all the excitement, Sunday morning rolled around and we were headed back to SU – boy oh boy does it feel good to be home! However, CAACURH has changed my life!
C – DOUBLE A – C – U – R – H… CAACURH.
