Event: Pizza and Paint
Date: March 23rd at 3:00 p.m.
Vibe: This event provides all painting supplies, plenty of yummy pizza, and a chance to socialize with new friends. You can follow along to a Bob Ross tutorial or freestyle your own original creation – just like how you can stick to the rules of small talk or invent your own way to bond with others! This event is hosted by Best Buddies, Bellarmine’s organization which “creates opportunities for one-to-one friendships and leadership development for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD)”.
Event: Rewind Fest with the Siena Complex
Date: March 25th at 6:00 p.m.
Vibe: This nostalgic celebration reaches back in time to channel all the joys of our childhood through 2000s-themed trivia, music, and prizes. We even have the same activities you might’ve been doing back in those days, like a bouncy house obstacle course and a four-square station! Don’t forget to end the night with a s’more to “taste the sweetness of the good ol' days.”
Event: BU Showcase Presents: Unique
Date: March 27th at 6:00 p.m.
Vibe: Have you been looking for a chance to showcase your art? Do you dream about presenting on stage? BU Showcase’s theme this year is ‘unique’ – highlighting unique talents, unique works, and unique people! If you’re interested in meeting other artists, discussing their projects, or celebrating your own, this is your chance to show Bellarmine what you’re capable of creating!
Event: Lacrosse vs University of Utah
Date: March 29th at 12:00 p.m.
Vibe: Are you a sports fan who loves to clap and stomp in the stands? Do you love to cheer on the home team or boo the opponents? Does competition excite you? Our lacrosse team would appreciate your voice rising from the crowd! Bring your friends to Owsley B. Frazier Stadium – you might just be our team’s lucky charm.
Event: Bellaroo 2025
Date: April 22nd at 4:00 p.m.
Vibe: Bellaroo is an iconic celebration that happens in the Sienas every spring. Complete with “a multitude of activities, yard games, giveaways, and food”, this event is a perfect chance to weave between different groups of friends, dance to a variety of music, and let loose! In previous years, students have made friendship bracelets, stamped on temporary tattoos, and jammed in drum circles. If you like loud, colorful nights, Bellaroo is for you!
