May 1st and Kickball!

Good Morning May!

I can't believe it is already May 1st! With only a week left of classes and finals, it seems like things have just flown by this year, which isn't that the case every year, things seem to move faster and faster each year. There has been a lot that has happened this past week but a highlight was playing Kickball for Cancer yesterday afternoon for the College of Public Health!

There was a faculty/staff team, and pretty much one from every department, including two from Health Management and Policy (HMP), in which I was part of one of them. It was a long day of tourney, but ironically it came down to the the two HMP teams for a domination round that was full of competition, music and sliders from both teams. Even though I was not on the winning team, it was great to have an event where you can relax and have fun with everyone in the College outside of classes, computer labs and projects.

With it being May 1st, it is so nice to get outside again and have it be sunny and the fact you can get sunburnt again, haha...

Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend and hopefully were able to make it outside for a little fun in the sun!
