October is here, which usually means the FAFSA application is launching. However, this year there will be a delay in the opening of the FAFSA application due to some significant changes resulting from the FAFSA Simplification Act.

This act aims to streamline the financial aid application process and make it more user-friendly as well as expand eligibility for federal financial aid. In light of these changes, the FAFSA application for the 2024-25 year will not be available until sometime in December.

While no firm date has been set, we are committed to keeping students and families updated about the changes in timeline and process this year. To learn more about FAFSA Simplification and how it may impact you, visit our 2024-25 FAFSA Simplification webpage.

Hello Bruins! We are looking for two to four people to join the hair and makeup team for the main-stage fall drama The Potting Shed. The role would involve being trained on 1950s hairstyles and theatre-aging makeup, then assisting actors with preparing for each performance.

We’d love to have you on board! Any and all majors welcome; no experience required.

We hope to have a time of worship at the event as well, but are still in need of worship leaders! If you are interested in leading worship, please fill out this form.

This is a student-coordinated and led event, and therefore SPIL chapel credit will NOT be offered. We hope to cultivate a space for our peers who are hungry for community and for Jesus! All are welcome, from non-believers to lifelong believers.
