Wolverine Wednesday, the funny one!

This week’s Wolverine Wednesday is going to make you laugh… not the actual words that I’M writing, the club that I’m highlighting… Really, because that’s what they do… they make people laugh… Something, I am not very good at. Hey! Maybe I could join… (drum roll please)… THE IMPROV CLUB!! (As you can see from my introduction, I need a lot of help with the funny stuff.)
The Improv Club is a UVU sponsored club, which has been around for two years. It was started by Reed Parkinson, a student at UVU. The other members of the club come from many different areas of the school. They have everything from chemistry major to Spanish, from religious studies to communications majors; ironically, none of the club members are actually studying anything to do with performing arts.
So, what does an improv club do? Well they practice and perform improv. Every Wednesday nights at 7pm (in PS202) the club meets to have fun. They play improv games; something you might see on the show “Who’s Line is It Anyways?”. However, most of the time the meetings are just full of fun and laughter; something any college student could use. If you wanted to join in on the fun, the club is open to all. Just head on over to the meeting, I’m sure you’ll have a great time.
However, if getting up in front of people, to try and make them laugh is just not your thing, that’s fine! The improve club is still for you! In fact, this week they have a performance on Friday July 9, 2010. The performance will be at the UVU Centre Stage (in the Student Center). The show runs from 7 to 9 pm and… (are you ready for the best part)… is only $2!!! Yep and that’s not even 2 bucks just for you, grab a date and it still will only be $2!!! It’s bound to be one of the best, if not cheapest, Friday nights of your life! So there it is for ya, a perfectly good invitation to a (cheap) night of fun filled laughter!
If you want to learn more about the improve club you can either: 1. Show up at one of their meetings or 2. Email them at whatssofunnyimprov@gmail.com. Hope you enjoy the show!

Broom Hockey @ 7 Peaks

Laser Tag @ Laser Assault

During our Finals' Week programs, we rented out a Laser Tag arena for our residents to let off some steam. Thanks to Laser Assault for being such great hosts for our group.

Penny War Conclusion

The Wolverine Crossing Penny War finally came to a conclusion two weeks ago. The residents were able to raise $305 for the Rocky Mountain Candlelighters Foundation of Utah. A special thank you goes out to all those residents.

The Penny War concluded with an evening where residents made holiday cards for the families that the foundation helps. Thank you to the residents who came to participate.

As promised, the building who scored the most points during the Penny War got to put a pie in their CAs' face. Building F won, and so Lauren and Jorden got pied.





Again, a special thanks goes out to all those who participated. Wolverine Crossing would especially like to thank the Rocky Mountain Candlelighters Foundation for allowing us to be a small part of what they do, and to thank them for the service that they offer.

Wolverine Crossing Carnival

Wolverine Crossing had it's opening social on Wednesday, September 2, 2009. We celebrated the new school year by holding a carnival. Residents got to enjoy hotdogs, candy, cotton candy, pingpong, games and even a photo booth. Thanks to all the Community Ambassadors who made it happen and especially the residents for bringing so much life and energy to the event! Below are a few shots of the carnival.

Move in Day 2!

Well our big Move-in Weekend is winding down and coming to an end. Our office will be open tomorrow to accommodate anyone who needs to move-in on a Sunday.

We welcomed 60 more residents to the community (we're anticipating a lot more this week as well), and are excited to have them all in our community.

We had another BBQ and hypnotist show. The turnout was great, the residents were wonderful, and we all shared a great night of laughs.

Here are some pictures of some of our amazing residents:

Move-In Day #1

The long awaited day has arrived. We successfully moved in 240 of our new residents today! What an exciting day it was. Students were able to interact with representatives from UVU Athletics, local church organizations, and COSTCO was kind enough to supply all the water for our day. Most importantly, residents were able to meet and interact with family, friends and new neighbors. For many, this will be the first time living away from home. What a great way to start this wonderful time of growth.

We'd like to welcome every one of our new friends to Wolverine Crossing. We are so excited to have you join our community, and want you to know that much lies ahead for you! We have a staff here that is dedicated to helping you succeed and make the best of your university experience. Thank you for making Wolverine Crossing your home!

Now that they've moved in, many of the residents are taking time to make their four walls a new home!

The day was full of excited and anxious residents and parents, employees working hard, smiles and laughter, and was capped off by a fun and entertaining BBQ (we even had a hypnotist out tonight)!

Here are some fun pictures from the day...

Thank you again to all our residents, both old and new; you're what makes Wolverine Crossing the best Student Living Community in Utah Valley.

Wolverine Crossing's first "Dive-in" Movie

To finish up our summer contract season, the Wolverine Crossing Community Ambassadors put on a "dive-in" movie at the pool. Get it? "Dive-in Movie" like a "Drive-in Movie"? Anyways, we thought is was pretty witty.

We rented a huge blow up projection screen and sound system to set up by our east pool. The movie (JAWS) started at about 9:30, and was preceded by hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill. Here are some pictures from the event.







Thanks to those who planned the event and to those who attended. We've tentatively got another movie night planned for later this month or early next so stay tuned for an announcement on the date.

Open Mic Night

What a wealth of talent we have here at Wolverine Crossing. On June 25 we hosted our second Wolverine Crossing Open Mic Night. The event was a great success; talented performers, awesome venue, great crowd, and a great time. Thanks goes out to Gray Aydelott and Ephraim Moore for taking the lead on planning the event, and to our other CAs for helping with publicity. A great thanks goes out to Wiseguys Comedy Club for opening their doors for us and being such awesome hosts! Most importantly, thanks to all the residents and guests for supporting the activity.
