Dear Pirates,

Seton Hall Weekend 
We look forward to celebrating Seton Hall Weekend with you beginning today including OSE & SAB Present: Fire Pits & Families. Check out the full Schedule of Events and RSVP here. Please continue to stay connected, have fun, and build community with our First 56 Days and Weeks of Welcome.  

Don’t miss the SAB and OSE Present: International Food Truck Festival. The Student Activities Board and the Office of Student Engagement host the annual International Food Truck Festival event. Stop by the Green on Tuesday, October 17 from 12 p.m. – 3 p.m. to sample food from around the world. The first 800 students will receive a free serving from the truck of their choice. Stop by the check-in tent to receive your ticket (first come, first serve)!  

We are deeply concerned and saddened by the recent outbreak of violence and loss of life in the Middle East. Our hearts and prayers go out to those affected.  Please take time to review our campus resources: 

Strength in Numbers
Strength in Numbers is an event focusing on mental health, especially depression, in males within minority communities and promoting awareness for all. The goal is to create an inclusive space for dialogue, understanding, and support, breaking the stigma around mental health in minority communities, and offering practical resources for coping with depression and fostering mental well-being for all attendees. This October 16 event at 5 p.m. in Schwartz 112 is sponsored by Mind Over Matter, Counseling and Psychological Services, and Dare to Care.  

SHU Theatre Presents: Pride and Prejudice  
Bold, surprising, boisterous, and timely, this P&P for a new era explores the absurdities and thrills of finding your perfect (or imperfect) match in life. Performances are free to the General Public beginning October 19 8 p.m. at the University Center Theater. 

O.P.T. - Opioid Prevention Training
Join SGA and the Dean of Students Office and be prepared to recognize and respond to an opioid overdose. Join us on Saturday, October 21 for a 2-hour hands-on workshop. Participants will learn Bystander Intervention strategies, Rescue Breathing Techniques, and how to administer life-saving Narcan spray. Everyone in attendance will leave the program with a kit that includes Narcan. Attendance is limited so sign up now.
