Shout Out for the Humanities has been cancelled on October 26, as we didn’t receive enough submissions. This is the second time we’ve cancelled this event due to low participation, so we will no longer be offering it. The CPH has implemented several new events this semester that have been successful, such as our Impressions in Red Art Exhibition at the Old Stone House. We will continue to solicit feedback from students and the community to hold events that draw excitement and participation.

Questions and comments can be directed here.
