Get ready for the Party on the Patio, CEC's annual event for First-Year students

First-year students gather at last year's Party on the Patio. This year's Party on the Patio for first-year CEC students is happening Thursday, September 5 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

CEC’s annual Party on the Patio is happening Thursday, September 5 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Held each year in the patio behind Benton hall (watch the quick video below to see how to get there), the Party on the Patio provides first-year CEC students with the opportunity to learn about CEC student organizations they can join, as well as free pizza and the chance to relax and get to know their fellow students.

First-year students are instructed to enter through the ground floor elevator lobby between Garland Hall and the Engineering Building so their attendance can be counted toward their student engagement.
