About Special Events

Special Events is a branch of ACBU that brings many different events to Bradley. Events in the past and that will continue this year include: Second City Comedy Troupe, Retro Game Night, Quad Cinema, and many others. This branch of ACBU is not specific, so anything can be brought to campus with them! Events for this committee are spread all over campus including the new, Lydia's Lounge. If you are interested in what special events can do or have ideas for the coordinators, contact Caitlyn Russo at crussoATmail.bradley.edu or Natalie Reames at nreamesATmail.bradley.edu. We need committee members to help with these events so please contact them if you are interested in receiving information! Look for events from Special Events during Welcome Week 2008.
