Cut loose one last time before classes begin! Spend the day conquering our giant shark slide inflatable, battling it out in a paint war, taking on massive lawn games, belting out your favourite songs on the party bus, and making beach-themed crafts. Enjoy a free lunch, then wrap up the day with the Social Science Oath and your chance to pie the Social Science Planners. Don’t forget your faculty shirt and everything you need for a day in the sun!

Clothes That Can Get Wet/Paint On Them!
We’ll be doing a paint fight to tie-dye our cream faculty shirts with our notorious BluCru blue! If you want to participate, please wear clothes and shoes you don’t mind getting paint on. The paint is a water and acrylic mixture and should come out in the wash, but please don’t wear anything you wouldn’t want to risk getting stained. If you’re not participating, you can ignore this!
