For the week of Sept. 30th there are several events planned at William Jewell College.

On Monday evening, the Student Nurses Association is having a fundraiser at the Chipotle in Liberty. It starts at 5 p.m., and if you mention you are there for SNA, they will receive a portion of the proceeds. This is a great opportunity to support a great organization while also getting some good food at the same time, so be sure to stop by Chipotle on Monday night.

Moving on to Tuesday, the volleyball team has a game against the University of Central Missouri at 7 p.m. in the Mabee Center. If you are in need of a break from homework Tuesday night, or if you don’t have anything else going on, be sure to come support the Jewell volleyball team.

Also on Tuesday is the story of Ricky Kidd, titled “I am Resiliency.” Kidd was wrongfully convicted of double murder in Kansas City in 1996 and was just released earlier this year. Kidd will talk about his story and an attorney from the Midwest Innocence Project will also speak starting at 7:30 p.m. in Yates-Gill College Union room 222. 

On Wednesday there is another fundraiser, this time for Alpha Gamma Delta at Mod Pizza. Just like the previous fundraiser, mention AGD at checkout and a percentage of the profits will go toward their philanthropy, Fighting Hunger. This is another opportunity to support a great cause while also getting some good food.

Also on Wednesday is everybody’s favorite event, CUA at the Movies. If you have been wanting to see the new Joker movie but are broke, head to the B&B Northland 14 from 7-10 p.m. with your Jewell ID to see a free movie.

For any music lovers out there, the jazz band is performing Thursday at 6:30 p.m. They will be playing at the Trotter Arts Plaza, but if it rains the performance will move to the Forbis Recital Hall. Come out to support the jazz band and listen to some good music.

Wrapping up the week on Saturday is a football game. Jewell will be playing the University of Indianapolis at 1 p.m. Hopefully we get better weather than we did for the homecoming game, but regardless, let’s be sure to get Greene Stadium loud for the football team.

This week is homecoming week, which means there are lots of fun events planned throughout the course of the week. Here’s a quick rundown on this week’s events that you don’t want to miss.

Starting off on Monday, the Back to the 80’s Greene Games will be at 8 p.m. at Greene Stadium. There will be competitions such as the human pyramid, food relay and egg toss.

There is another homecoming event Wednesday.. College Union Activities (CUA) is hosting something called Jewellstock. There will be food and fun on the First-Year Triangle, so if you are getting tired of the caf food, stop by at 6 p.m.

Back to the 80’s Campus Sing is this Thursday at 8 p.m. in the Mabee Center. Campus sing is a singing and dancing competition between teams of sorority and fraternity members. It also celebrates the football team. It’s a really fun time, so come to this event if you can. 

Homecoming week wraps up with a couple of sporting events, the first being a volleyball game where the Cardinals will take on the University of Southern Indiana. The game is at 7 p.m. in the Mabee. There will be a homecoming costume contest at halftime, and this is a great opportunity to cheer on the volleyball team. And in case you needed an extra incentive, this event is worth triple points for The Nest. 

Saturday is the homecoming football game versus Missouri S&T. The game begins at 5 p.m. and is located at Greene Stadium. The homecoming coronation and the announcement of the Stocksdale competition winner will all take place during halftime. On top of all that, the event is a good way to meet William Jewell College alumni and is worth double Nest points. With all that’s going on, the stadium should be filled with red on Saturday.
