Midterms are upon us this week, and many students are starting to feel the pressure of classes. Here’s hoping that most of you are now starting to read the Digest.  These activities are there to keep that pressure from consuming students whole. As sad as it may be, those terrible finals are now starting to loom even closer. Here is a highlight of what was missed on the Digest, in case it is still being deleted.

International Sports Fiesta
UW-Superior has a diverse student body which gives us a dynamic mix of cultures.  Every culture has a sport that is as important to their country as baseball is to the United States. The World Student Association, or WSA, is hosting an International Sports Fiesta this Friday, October 16, at 7:30pm in the HWC Field House. Global sports like soccer, cricket, kabaddi, and badminton will be played. The Fiesta is free, and will also have food and refreshments.

R.A.D. Class
A woman’s self-defense is no laughing matter, and Campus Safety agrees. Campus Safety is hosting a Rape Aggression Defense system women’s self-defense class this upcoming October 27, November 3 and 10 from 6-10 pm in the Health and Wellness Center. These classes will teach the basics of self-defense as well as teaching a few more helpful tips. Pre-registration is a must if you want to join. Registration is in the Campus Safety Office, RSC room 53, and it is free.

Head of the Lakes Job Fair
Career Services has teamed up with UMD and St. Scholastica to bring students this fall’s Head of the Lakes Job Fair.  The job fair will be held Wednesday, October 21, 10 am-2 pm in the University of Minnesota Duluth’s Kirby Student Union. Employers from all over the area will be there offering everything from internships to full-time jobs. There is no need to worry about getting from Superior to Duluth because shuttles will be leaving at 9:45, 10:30, 11:30, and 12:30. Even if you are just looking into finding a job or seriously hunting, the Head of the Lakes Job Fair is the only fair being offered this semester, so if you are interested, go!
