Tuesday, December 5

Common Ground
11 a.m., Broyhill Chapel
Lessons and Carols. Common Ground is the Center for Religious and Spiritual Life's weekly offering for all MHU students, faculty, and staff. Common Ground is recognized as a place where faith/spirituality and reason come together. We believe that faith and reason are compatible with one another, not two separate and distinct parts. We also believe that Common Ground can and should be found among the various faith and non-faith traditions. Common Ground programs are held at 11 a.m. in Broyhill Chapel each Tuesday classes are in session (unless otherwise noted).

Puppy Day
12-4 p.m., The Loft (McConnell Hall) (change in location from last week's listing)
Students and staff may purchase "puppy time" with a puppy for $3 for 15 minutes and $5 for 30 minutes. This event helps relieve student stress just before exams, helps socialize rescued puppies for easier adoptions, and raises funds for rescue organizations in Madison County.

Fiddling On the Hill
5-7 p.m., Spilman Hall or Lunsford Commons (weather-dependent)
Monthly jam session of traditional old-time music.

Late Night Breakfast
8-10 p.m., Pittman Dining Hall
Faculty and staff members serve breakfast foods for students during this annual tradition on the evening before final exams begin.
