The Daily Bruin

Our women’s basketball team has reached the Elite 8 of the NCAA Division III National Tournament after defeating the University of Texas at Dallas 77-73 Friday. Today (Saturday), the Bruins take on Calvin College at 4:30 p.m. (PDT) on Calvin’s home floor in Grand Rapids, Mich.

We will again host a viewing party for the game in Hoover 105, with doors opening about 15 to 20 minutes before tip-off. And, once again, we’ll have snacks provided by ASC, student life and the president’s office! If you can’t make it to the party, you can watch a live steam of the game at this site.

Should the Bruins win, they will play in the Final Four on Friday, March 20, on the same Calvin College court.

Come to “Event Planning 101” and learn how the university’s conference and event services office can help you run a smooth, successful event. We’ll also have a Q&A time for 25Live. Join us for this “Let’s Work Together” staff lunch this Monday, March 16, from noon to 1 p.m. in the Cap and Gown Room.

Please bring your questions or frustrations with 25Live, and we’ll be happy to help alleviate your stress. Great information, great fellowship, great food for only $3.

See you there!
