The University Union is pleased to announce Phlagleblast, the annual welcoming celebration for students, on Wednesday, September 3 from 8 am- 2 pm in The University Union. The campus tradition, which started in 1999, showcases all of the great vendors, office and services the Union has to offer. Various components make up the event, including the Phlagleblast game card, where participants stop by each department or office within the Union. This acquaints them to the services and resources and they collect prizes as they do so. Students then submit their completed cards for a free t-shirt and a chance to win a larger prizes. We’ll have live music by Violin on Fire (smooth Latin and R&B), Dirty Chops Brass Band (New Orleans 2nd line), and Tribe Divine (reggae rock and funk) and KSSU. The event is free and open to students, faculty and staff. However, only students are eligible for the grand prizes. More info at theuniversityunion.com/phlagleblast
