From Service to Bubble Soccer: New Year Offers Something for Everyone

Published on: September 7, 2016

The new academic year is off and running. In the first two weeks, campus was a blur of activity:

Returning students reconnected with friends and favorite professors.
First-year students dispersed to 19 locations to perform community service (What could be more Franciscan?).
Lots of students and faculty strolled through the new TV and radio studios, soon to be named the John J. Mullen Communication Center.
Opening week activities included Maui Wowi, the involvement fair, bubble ball soccer, Mass of the Holy Spirit, and a campus picnic.
After a Labor Day holiday, the second week will end with a murder mystery and Paint U-The Ultimate Glow Rage Party.

and, of course, took time to play with some of the Center’s residents.

First-year Knights also gave some basketball tips at Nativity Prep

where three Neumann alums work: Alicia Izaguirre, James Ferguson and Samantha Martone.
