About Campus Life
The Campus Life department offers students fun and unique activities to promote lifelong growth and lasting relationships in a safe and inclusive environment. Designed to inspire, educate, and cut loose, our events are created in coordination with student-run groups and organizations. Make the most of your university experience, and grow, learn, laugh, and run with us.
Campus Life Events
We understand that even the most dedicated students need to let loose and blow off steam. With that in mind, we organize multiple events every semester to ensure that your time at the Academy is as fun as it is educational.
