Fall Break

Hello All,

Hope everyone is having a great day.  This week has gone by so fast! Monday and Tuesday we had Fall break.  It was great to have a break but feels awesome to be back.  Thursday night was the closing program of our capital campaign.  It was great to see all the support the college has gotten in raising over  $90 Million.  I also got to meet alumnus Curt Menefee who was back on campus.  It was a great time to get together with everyone from the college and celebrate such an amazing accomplishment.  Now for the weekend its Football and Soccer games.  Lets hope we can remain undefeated for the football season! Thanks for reading!

Watermelon Fest

Hello,

Every year my fraternity put on an event called the watermelon fest.  This is an event where we get a ton of watermelons and various groups on campus come and do olympic style events with watermelons.  I was with a team of basketball girls because they needed some expert help since this was my 4th watermelon fest.  Of course we won! :)  We all get to go out to dinner together as our prize.  All of the money raised from this event goes to Waypoint which is a women and children's center right here in Cedar Rapids.  It is a fun event with a great cause and at the end we get into a huge watermelon throwing fight, which is awesome. I attach some pictures for you all to see!

Campus Visit Day

Hello Readers,

Hopefully some of you reading this I met on Saturday!  Saturday was campus visit day where students look at Coe and decide if it right for this.  I worded this campus visit day and got to meet a ton of cool potential KOHAWKS!!  I also went to the Coe football game on Saturday which me WON!!!  I love the atmosphere at sporting events here at Coe.  All the support makes you proud to be a Kohawk.  Today I am going to study because I have an exam on Tuesday.  I love days where you can just sleep in and wake up knowing all you have to get done is some studying with a cup of coffee in hand of course. 

Remember if you ever have any questions you can e-mail me at janylin@coe.edu!

Fall and Homecoming

Hello again,

This past weekend was homecoming!  It was amazing!  Kohawk football won 51-0 and the dance was a great time to forget about school for a night and have a great time with friends.  Coe is all about traditions and homecoming is a long one!  There is a parade the morning of the football game and a pep rally the night before.  It a great time to show off your kohawk spirt and have pride in your school.  I have attached some pictures from the weekend.  

Thanks for keeping up!
