Celebrate Good Times, C’mon

Hey folks; the semester is coming to an end, and if you hadn’t noticed, there is a lot to do on campus to help celebrate another fab year. With that in mind, I have decided to dedicate this week’s post to events that are happening over the coming weeks. Keep in mind that this is not an exhaustive list, just a couple to discuss; if you have one that you think belongs up here, please post it to my comments section! NCSC – Grad Formal: Old Hollywood The folks at New College are putting on their annual grad formal, however, all students are welcome. The event will be held at the Fountainblu Event Venue on the CNE grounds. The event is 19+ and ID is required both  to purchase tickets and at the event itself. Tickets are $50 per person for New College Students, and $60 for non (each New College student may bring one non-New College student to the event). There is an additional $5 fee if you want to take the limo service being offered from New College to the venue. Dinner will be a three-course meal featuring stuffed chicken breast and grilled steak. For more information, contact the New College Student Council at gradyear@myncsc.com. WCSA – Woodsworth’s Annual Awards Gala If you don’t already have a ticket to this event, but want to go, you are out of luck. Tickets have sold out. This is also a formal event that is happening on March 31^st at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel. As the name suggests, this is not just a dinner, but an awards gala and several awards will be handed out by the WCSA executive. There will be an elegant dinner provided, and complimentary bar service all night. Woodsworth students who do not have tickets can ask to go on the waitlist, however unlikely it is that a ticket will become available. For more information, please visit WCSA. MatSA End of Year Banquet This is an event that is near and dear to my heart, and will be happening on April 27. This year the event will be held at Hart House in two separate rooms; first, the South Dining Room will be set up to host a cocktail reception where there will be appetizers such as baked brie and vegetable antipasto. Following the cocktail party, guests are to make their way across the hallway for dinner in the Music Room. Following dinner there will be dancing back in the South Dining Room. Dinner will be a buffet spread with some awesome grub. Highlights of the menu include miso glazed black cod, portobello and cremini ragu, and roasted fillet of beef tenderloin. Ok, just talking about it makes my stomach rumble in anticipation. Tickets will go on sale soon for $10 per person, and each student is allowed to bring one guest. Check out the Facebook event or the MatSA website for ticket purchasing information. Like I said, there are tons of things going on, so feel free to share your event in the comments section. Best wishes to all and I hope you have a great end-of-semester bash!   Jon
