Thank you to everyone who took the time out of their busy schedules amidst midterm season to come to SGUO's 2019 Fall Social! During the event, students were able to get to know more about each other by swapping Bruincards, playing bingo, and bonding with one another over refreshments. We hope everyone who came out had fun and was able to meet other students with similar majors and interests!
