Sunday	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday
				Thursday October 1 1 Convocation Fenenga Bridge Traditionally, Convocation has occurred annually on the first Friday after classes in collaboration with the communal Everybody Party and a celebratory walk across the Fenenga Bridge for our incoming students. Due to the pandemic, we have found another way to welcome and celebrate you, our students, this year. Please find time to walk across the Fenenga Bridge and take part in this alternate Convocation. On the bridge there will be printed copies of the convocation message and charge from President Karl Solibakke. Take a copy, pause to contemplate not only the significance of the charge but this important time in our lives, and reflect on your role in the Northland community. New students, there will be a table in the Ponzio Campus Center first floor to return your Lake Superior stone. All stones will be kept until graduation and displayed near the Post Office. We are so glad you are here, so proud of all you have accomplished in the first month, and look forward to a wonderful rest of the year! More Info	Friday October 2 2	Saturday October 3 3

Sunday October 11 11 10:00 am – 11:00 am CUUF Service Chequamegon Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Speaker: Stacy Craig — “Give Voice to Your Vote” Online on Zoom The fifth principle of Unitarian Universalism affirms that all people should have a voice and a vote about the things which concern them. As America prepares for its fifty-ninth presidential election, there are some who do not have a voice or a vote. There are many reasons for this silence such as fear, age, incarceration, citizenship, COVID-19, mail-in ballot confusion, or access to a polling location. At this service, we’ll explore how going all-in on the democratic process is one way to UU the vote.
