All current AU students are invited to see the hit Broadway musical HAIRSPRAY at the Centre Stage theatre in Greenville, SC at a discounted rate! Student Activities has purchased a handful of tickets for the Saturday, April 21 matinee at 8pm. *Please note that the time has changed from 3pm to 8pm!*
Students may sign up for $15 tickets in the Student Activities Office. Tickets must be paid for at sign up with cash or check (made payable to Anderson University). This is a steal, as adult tickets for this production are normally $30!
Those interested in going should plan on carpooling with friends/others who are attending (unfortunately, we cannot provide transportation for this event). The theatre is located in downtown Greenville, which has many options for eating out and having a great time before or after the performance!
Tickets are limited and will be sold on a first-come, first-serve basis only. Come by Student Activities an sign up today, before they’re gone!
Student Activities is teaming up with the Caf to move dinner outside under the shade of the Alumni Lawn. Dress in your best Hawaiian garb, bring a blanket and your closest friends for a festive luau dinner. In addition to dinner there will be a variety of contests and chances for you to win gift cards.
We know the end of the semester is around the corner and your to-do list is filling up. You have to eat sometime, so come enjoy the spring weather and relax while doing it! This event is Tuesday, April 17th from 4:30-6:30 p.m. and will be on the Front Lawn. 
We will attend one of the games of the opening weekend for the Atlanta Braves Baseball team. They are playing the Brewers at 7:10 pm. Students can sign up in the Student Activities Office from April 9-April 12 until noon on the 12th. Tickets will be limited and given on a first come, first serve basis. This event will cost $5 for each students. We will meet at 3:45pm and leave at 4pm. Students should come prepare to eat dinner at the stadium. If you have any further questions please come by the office or email us at studentactivities@andersonuniversity.edu.
As you know, Easter Sunday is coming up soon. To help celebrate, Student Activities is planning on hosting a Seder Dinner. A Seder Dinner is a traditional Jewish feast held to commemorate Passover, and is traditionally held during late March or early April. The story of Exodus is recited, symbolic foods are eaten, and freedom is celebrated!!!
As this calls for very particular foods to be purchased, we need to know who would be interested in participating in such an event. The date of the event will be Wednesday, April 4th at 5:00pm in Hunt Chapel. The event should only last about 30-45 minutes, and given the small nature of the food, you will still have time to grab dinner in FFT or Martin Dining Hall.
Student Activities is proud to announce that April 10 kicks off TWIRP week here on campus until Friday the 13th! For those who don’t know what TWIRP week is, it stands for:
The
Woman
Is
Required to
Pay
We like to think of TWIRP week as our very own version of the Sadie Hawkins dance that lasts ALL WEEK LONG! Ladies, if you check your mail this week, you’ll be finding a couple of TWIRP bucks. These are for admission to most events and to purchase items at events! You have opportunities to collect more so keep on eye on the 411 and your email.

Hey AU students! Come out and support our AU ladies softball team THIS Saturday in their game against Lincoln Memorial.

Student Activities and the entire student body would like to congratulate the Trojan Disc Golf Team for placing 8th out of 22 teams at the Georgia Tech Qualifying round for the Disc Golf National Collegiate Championship. This is Anderson University’s first year to have a disc golf team and the other teams there definitely saw us as a threat. Although only the top 7 teams proceed to the championship division, we sure showed everyone else what it means to be a trojan. We will come back. We will play hard.
The team plans to play on Wednesday, Aprill 11 for one more shot at the championship round. The final tournament is April 12-14 in Augusta, GA.

The Senior Mugging will take place April 2nd at 7 PM, and will be a time for seniors to enjoy some time together as graduation is quickly approaching. Students will be able to socialize and enjoy root beer floats from an AU mug donated by the Alumni office. Students will also have one last opportunity to donate to the Senior Class gift and give back to AU! Students who donate to the Senior Class gift can receive an AU wristband, T-shirt, graduation cord, and a plaque with their name on it in the new student center. Make sure to mark your calendars so you don’t miss out on this awesome opportunity!

One of AU’s biggest traditions- TWIRP Week is happening the week of April 9th. TWRIP stands for The Woman Is Required to Pay and is a twist on a good ‘ol fashioned Sadie Hawkins Dance. We’ll offer several really fun events that female students are encouraged to invite male students to attend with you! Each event costs a TWIRP-buck and each female student is given two. You can purchase additional ones in the Student Activities office.
One really fun part of the week is the opportunity to get a new t-shirt for your collection! If you are interested in purchasing a TWIRP shirt check back here for a link next week, or come by the Student Activities office to sign up anytime! They are $7 each and prepayment is required. We’re only ordering the number sold– so be sure to order yours by April 2nd at 4:30.
Here’s a picture of the shirt design!
