Good afternoon, fellow SASHPers!

It's chilly and it's exam week--also known as staying in, wrapped in a blanket, and "burning my eyebrows" over PowerPoint slides. With the sudden change in season, I hope you all had the chance to get your boots and sweaters for the upcoming fall. Remember to stock up on tea, cocoa, and soup for when you'll need your dose of daily warmth!

We've got a couple announcements and compiled a diverse list of events and opportunities around the campus that we thought might interest you, including a talk on "Saudi's Little War: Fighting Friends and Foes in Yemen", the first Art After Hours event at Zimmerli (which includes a lecture on "The Art of Medicine"), the Eagleton UG Associates Program application, and this week's SASHP Commuter Mixer with Pizza Lunch!

Have you checked out the stories and experiences our SASHP bloggers write about it? Nida Saeed went on the Greatest International Scavenger Hunt Ever for a chance to win a trip to Costa Rica with Supernatural actor Misha Collins. To find out what happened to Nida and other SASHPers on their life adventures, visit the SASHP Blog!
