If you pre-ordered a shirt over the summer, you can now come to the LAH office and pick yours up ($12). After September 10th, you will no longer be guaranteed a shirt, so don’t wait until it’s too late! If you like the LAH t-shirts but didn’t pre-order one, you can still get one from the limited supply of extras.
The LAH community will be volunteering this weekend at the Micah 6 food pantry in West Campus! Take advantage of this great opportunity to meet new LAHers while serving the local neighborhood. Afterwards, we will head over to the Spicy Pickle sandwich shop for a well-deserved lunch!

If you would like to volunteer on Saturday, please email the LAH Student Council Service Chair – Katy Eyberg – keyberg@gmail.com – and she will add you to the RSVP list.
