Over the weekend, our women's soccer team continued their impressive season. They secured a 3-0 victory over Carnegie Mellon on Friday, with sophomore Sophie Viscovich scoring the game-winner. On Sunday, they defeated Case Western Reserve 3-1, maintaining their undefeated record in UAA play. Looking ahead, they host NYU on November 1 at 1:30 p.m. Come out and support the team!
The Graduate Center is hosting a "Reorientation Social" today, October 27, from 4 to 5 p.m. It's a great opportunity to connect with the Office of Financial Well-being and the Center for the Humanities. If you're looking to meet new people and learn about campus resources, this is the place to be.
In campus culture, the annual WILD concert is coming up. While the exact date hasn't been announced yet, it's typically held in late October or early November. Keep an eye out for updates, as it's one of the biggest student-run events on campus.
For a dining tip, the food trucks on campus are offering some seasonal specials this week. Be sure to check them out for some autumn-inspired treats.
This week in St. Louis, expect a mix of clouds and sun with occasional showers. Temperatures will be in the mid-50s to low 60s. Pack an umbrella for Tuesday—there's a chance of afternoon showers.
