Party Time in the Union

January 28, 2008

The week has finally arrived for us to celebrate HMU’s 40th birthday.  I hope that you will stop by and check out all the great events we’ve got planned for this week…ranging from cake to a 60’s dance to human dog sled races to ice sculpture contests.  It’s a great time to be in the Union.  And, I’m told that 40 is the new 30… so there you have it! 

All the events are listed on the main HMU site and you can link to our history page too.

Stop by this week and share in the fun!    See you there!

Dr. King’s Legacy

January 22, 2008

As we begin another semester, I invite you to reflect on these words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. whose legacy we honor and celebrate this week:    “The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically… Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.”

Welcome Back

January 19, 2008

Welcome Back for another semester at BSU and the Hobson Memorial Union.  We’ve got a lot going on as everyone gets back to campus and hope that you’ll make a stop at HMU a regular part of your day.  Watch for all the exciting events happening as we celebrate our 40th birthday.  There’s lots of fun in store for everyone. 

I also want to call your attention to a great program we have coming up in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  On Wednesday, January 30, we’ll be sponsoring a performance of Dr. King’s Dream, produced by the Mixed Blood Theatre.  It takes place at 7:30 pm in Beaux Arts Ballroom.  Hope to see you there.

 Good luck this semester as we get 2008 off to a great start!
