Kards for Kids November 18, 2010
Posted by Marina in : Fall 2010 , add a commentLast night I attended yet another awesome event held by the Patapsco Hall Council called Kards for Kids. The hall council had residents, friends, and peers stop by to make holiday cards for kids who could use them this holiday season to lift their spirits. The cards will be donated to a local children’s hospital to be distributed to those kids who need them most. Then event was a big hit and the Patapsco Hall Council is on a roll this year! They were recently recognized by the Residence Hall Association for having the most successful events thus far as a hall council. Congrats, Pataspsco hall council!

Posted by Marina in : Fall 2010 , add a commentAs we say in residence life…
Don’t be a turkey, be out by 6:00 pm!
That’s right folks. Thanksgiving break is right around the corner! Make sure you are out of the residents halls by 6:00 p.m. to avoid a fine and some angry RA’s! 
Charlie Brown and Pie November 18, 2010
Posted by Marina in : Fall 2010 , add a commentWestern Run is in the Thanksgiving Spirit this year and so are their residents! Almost 75 residents stopped through the lounge the other night to eat various pies and listen to old school Peanuts gang tunes. I had so much fun relaxing with my residents and tasting almost 5 different kinds of pies, with ice cream of course! We found that the number one pie chosen by residents at our event was apple pie! I mean, how much more American can we get than apple pie? Thanks to everyone who showed up for the event and participated in our pie sampling!

Home in the Valley November 18, 2010

Functional sculpture by Churchill Davenport
Recently, I have been trying to find out more about these strange birdhouses that are hung in the tress on the Greenspring campus. Painted in different shades of blue, yellow, and red, these bird houses are attributed to Stevenson’s “Art in the Valley” concept and the theme for this academic year. Below you will find information on these marvelous, abstract, and innovative homes in our valley.
When: August through May
Where: Stevenson University’s Greenspring Campus
There are 63 at this location; can you find them all?
In grade school Churchill Davenport reinvented the instructions in a birdhouse building manual while working on a school project and the results have become what has been called “baroque conglomerations” that exude “palpable energy.” Davenport’s lushly painted, joyous quixotic birdhouses will fill the trees surrounding the Greenspring Campus. An exhibition of photographs, by Cassandra Bates ’12, documenting Davenport’s installation and the seasons will be on view during this school year.
Raven’s Watch Party = Fun and Food November 18, 2010
Posted by Marina in : Fall 2010 , add a commentThe Ravens Watch Party sponsored by the freshman council on Thursday, November 11th was AMAZING in the Rockland banquet room. Doors opened at 8:00pm while students piled in to watch the game start at 8:20. There were Raven’s themed door prizes, raffles, and a competition for a Ravens gift pack for the biggest Ravens Fan! There was tailgating food and drinks to go along with the festivities and well, of course, the game!
Think Purple! And gold! The Marketplace was jammed pack before the game with Rockland’s special tailgating menu! The food included various items such as wings, pizza, hot dogs, and much, much more! So, think you are the ultimate Raven’s fan? Wait until you see Stevenson’s spirit for the purple and gold.
