Rockefeller College
Welcome Back, Rockefeller!
Consider this your cordial invitation to the 1st PASA HAPPY HOUR of the
spring semester! Join us on THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7 after classes at 9PM.
Guess where we’re Happy Hour-ing? You got it, the LIONHEART PUB at 448
Madison Avenue by Washington Park. As always, free popcorn and free
conversation abound. (Sick of the Lionheart? Suggest another
establishment and you may just find yourself at a PASA-sponsored event
there in the future!)
Looking for something to do earlier that evening? Then come to our first
meeting of the TALENT SHOW STEERING COMMITTEE! PASA is showcasing the
best talent that Rockefeller has to offer at a spring Talent Show.
Faculty will be singing show tunes, students will twirl batons and juggle,
staff will be breakdancing— it’s going to be quite a sight. Join the
Steering Committee and help plan, support and promote Rockefeller talent.
Stay tuned for information on signing up to PERFORM in the talent show!
