Artemis 2 Launch Party

Watch the launch of NASA's Artemis 2 moon mission.  We plan to start half an hour before the launch window opens and stay at least through the end of the launch window.  Stop by the Osbourne Lounge on the ground floor of the UIS Student Union any time to share the experience of this historic event.

If the launch is canceled or postponed we will cancel the watch party.

Brushes of Hope: Wooden It Be Lovely Volunteer Project

Wooden It Be Lovely offers hope and employment to women healing from lives affected by poverty, addiction, and abuse. The program provides transitional employment, mentoring, recovery tools, education, community networking, and a safe community. Women in the program refurbish donated wooden furniture, sew unique handmade items, and craft hand-poured candles.
