Weekly Announcements for the Week of March 10 - 12, 2026
Hard to believe, but we are now in the last week of the first half of the spring semester. There will be no classes next week (March 17ᵗʰ and 19ᵗʰ), so we’ll see you all on March 24ᵗʰ for our second half classes and fun.
(*There are a couple of make-up classes next week)

Below is a list of events happening in Renaissance now and in the near future.
