Did you notice pink balloons around campus yesterday? That’s because PinkZone is right around the corner this Saturday, Jan. 31! All Bruin basketball fans are encouraged to wear pink as they support both the university’s talented athletes and the worldwide efforts to find a cure for breast cancer.

To help fight this deadly disease, the university will donate half of the night’s ticket sales to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Both teams will battle Linfield, with the women’s game tipping off at 4 p.m. and the men directly following at 6 p.m. Don’t miss this night full of fun, rivalry and lots of pink! Students and employees can attend the game for free with a university ID card.

During the halftimes, we’ll take a moment to recognize our 2013-14 Northwest Conference Championship teams – the women’s track team and women’s golf squad. We’ll also recognize all of the senior women athletes who have proudly worn the blue and gold during their university careers.

Housing Selection for fall 2015 will take place from March 16 to March 20. Please refer to the following links for additional information: general housing selection, housing options and advice on choosing a roommate.

In order to participate in housing selection each student must have a $150 housing deposit on file with student financial services by March 19. Information about deposits can be found here. After housing assignments are made, this deposit will be held and applied toward future housing charges.

If you mistakenly took a towel from the Fitness Center over the course of the last six months, it would be greatly appreciated if you could return it.

We are missing 22 towels and unfortunately, due to budget constraints, will not be able to purchase new ones until the start of the 2015-16 school year. Once we are out, we are out. There are a number of sweaty people who would appreciate the use of a towel during their workout.

Thank you.
