Get up and dance to the latest dance craze – ZUMBA!
Tonight, the SU Social hosted a ZUMBA class in the banquet room at 7p.m. The class was taught by a professional ZUMBA instructor from the area and was also hosted on Monday. Let me tell you something about ZUMBA, man do you feel it the next morning! It works every muscle in your body but it is so much fun! I went with a bunch of my female residents and we had a blast. I learned that even the most in shape people can feel ZUMBA after a little while. So still workin on those holiday pounds? Try ZUMBA! There are classes offered in the Owings Mills area.
First Lacrosse Home Game February 23, 2011

You may recognize these fella’s if you have any bit of Mustang pride running through your veins. This would be the men’s lacrosse team, known as #2 right now in their division. Today was their first home game of the season and it was incredible. The boys got out of the field and did their thing as the champions we all know they are. At this particular game, Stevenson beat Mary Washington 19 to 3. I am hoping and praying for an undefeated season! It was especially fun for me because I have 5 residents (out of 26) who are on the lacrosse team. So not only did I get to see the team win their first home game and keep our Mustang spirits up, but as the proud floor mother, I got to watch my boys play! Yeah, talk about exciting! To find out more information about the lacrosse team including their game schedule, check out the SU homepage and click on athletics!
Funny Girl at SU February 21, 2011

Thanks to MAP Comedy, I was on the edge of my seat and nearly on the floor tonight when the not so shy funny girl Jen Kober hit the stage. Jen Kober isn’t your typical comedian. She embraces her curves and her full figure and uses it as a way to get people to not only laugh at her but at insecurities in general. I felt her act, in a strange way, was motivational. Her favorite thing in the world? Twinkies. She doesn’t hide from who she is and she is hilarious! If you missed her, be sure to check out her Facebook or catch her live acts on youTube.
Construction – Stadium February 20, 2011
Posted by Marina in : Spring 2011 , add a comment
Construction is EVERYWHERE here at SU. However, this construction taking place beside our brand new Gym is special. Not only is the new stadium going to turn our sporting events into campus wide hoorahs, it is going to be opened with our brand new football team. Everytime I look down at the construction I am reminded of how much Stevenson is actually growing as a University. The new stadium, however, is going to be SWEET. I will take a front-side picture this week during the first lacrosse game of the season! Get ready Stevenson, our sporting events are about to be legit.

Here is a picture of our campus beautifully lit up with the warm sunshine. Enjoy it while it lasts! There is supposed to be a snow storm this week! BRRRRRR!
Food Perks February 20, 2011

Within walking distance of campus, or what we say around here as “down the hill,” Stevenson University students have a large amount of food perks that we can access with our flex on our SU one cards. My personal favorite? Dunkin Donuts. Not only is there iced coffee and hot chocolate both amazing, I can get hot beverages in the cold weather and also get my baskin robbins ice cream fix when it is warm outside! Yes. It is pretty awesome. Not to mention the people who work at DD are incredibly nice. Buddy up to them and you could see a couple extra donuts in that bag! Another food perk we have right now is just a couple hundred feet west. Subway has had booming business this month because of all their footlongs being $5. EVERY TIME I walk down their with my best friend Nicole, there are SU students eating! It is incredible. I think the flex system here at Stevenson has incresingly gotten better since I was a freshman here and boy am I thankful! So, hungry? It’s ok. Flex has got you covered.

In case you were wondering how our new residence halls were coming along, here is an updated picture of the progress that has been made! As you can see, the wooden frame of the building is about to be complete and man is that a big building! Both new buildings will be claimed as first year experience this fall and will contain rooms of the same size. I wish I were a freshman this coming year because I know these buildings are going to be top of the line! Check back over the next few months to look at new updates 
A Sweet Reward February 20, 2011

In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, I recieved one of the sweetest “gifts” if you will this friday. I know what you are thinking, what could be sweeter than the card from my residents or the box of chocolates from my Valentine? Well let me share this with you my friends. This friday, letters were given to new, returning, and higher positioning applicants for the Resident Assistant and Senior Resident Assistant positions for this coming school year. I am extremely honored and pleased to announce that I will be returning to Western Run to be the Senior RA of a Second year Experience Building, for my third and final year of being an RA here at Stevenson. Although the letter was bittersweet, I am ecstatic. Most of my residents are homesteading for the next year and I excited for Western Run to not be an all freshman building. It will give my staff and I an opportunity to build a different community here in Western Run starting in the Fall. Congratulations to all of my new and returning coworkers. I hope you are all ready for a very exciting, challenging, and fulfilling year.
Good Morning :) February 20, 2011

The Greenspring Campus is my favorite place in the world to get breakfast. Besides their tasty breakfast sandwiches and french toast that students go crazy for, they also have healthier more “on the go” options that are just as delicious. For example, the muffin selection on the other campus is incredible. My personal favorite is the blueberry muffin or the sugar cinnamon muffin. All of our muffins are made fresh and packaged with a coffee, soda, or milk as a meal! Yes, I can get a scumptious muffin and a tall Seattle’s Best coffee (including the CinnaBon flavor!!!) for a MEAL SWIPE. It is incredible and completely worth it. So for all of you who haven’t traveled over to the other campus for breakfast, it is highly recommended by 95% of students here at the University.
