2024 Battle of I-75 Ruck-the-Ball

Sat, Oct 19, 2024 6am to 10pm

Doyt-Perry Stadium

The BGSU and UT chapters of the Student Veterans of America are hosting the second year of our Ruck-the-Ball event. Students, faculty, and community members will be rucking from Doyt-Perry Stadium in Bowling Green to the Glass Bowl Stadium in Toledo while carrying the game ball for the Battle of I-75 football game between BGSU and UT. The column will hike along a 22 mile route, with the intention of bringing attention to the average of 22 veterans who take their lives each day. The phrase "22 a day" is a well known phrase within the veteran community. This event serves as a reminder to all who participate of the veteran suicide epidemic. This ruck march is open to anyone from either UT's or BGSU's chapter, university, or community. Participants are encouraged to hike as long as they can, but there is no requirement to complete all 22 miles. There will be a number of members from each chapter who will be completing the entire ruck march.  RSVP link - https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2nd-annual-battle-of-i-75-ruck-the-ball-tickets-956483085657?aff=ebdssbdestsearch Learn more at http://bgsu.presence.io/event/2024-battle-of-i-75-ruck-the-ball

Poor Clare

Sat, Oct 19, 2024 2pm

Wolfe Center for the Arts, Eva Maria Saint Theatre (Wolfe 124)

THE STORY: It’s 1211 in Assisi, Italy, and Clare’s got beauty, wealth, and a rich suitor who showers her with expensive presents. So why is she so drawn to this guy Francis who gave up all his possessions just because poor people are suffering? Everyone in town says he’s crazy. And yet…she starts seeing everything in her life differently. This hilarious, anachronistic telling of the real story of St. Clare considers the cost of doing good—and how little has changed for the haves and the have-nots in almost a millennium. (from Dramatist Play Service: dramatists.com) Sara Lapinski Chambers, Director Get your tickets today for this showing of Poor Clare! ---------------------------------------- Falcon Family Weekend Oct. 18-20 | This event is part of Falcon Family Weekend, an annual tradition for parents, family members, and supporters to visit, create memories, participate in events, and explore campus and the local community.
