Hey Guys its that time of year again where we all buckle up and study hard for FINALS. Before that however lets have ONE last event for CUJA this term.
Its the PUB NIGHT where members (19+) will be provided beer on a first-come-first serve basis.
The event is held at Fox and Feather Pub and Grill on Tuesday, December 6 at 7 pm and will last till about 10 pm. This is for those who were wondering a day after classes have ended so no one will have class conflicts at this time.
CUJA does NOT serve alcohol to minors so if you are 18 or younger. You may still come to socialize, but we will not be serving you beer.

Tonight, Friday September 14, at 6:30pm, CUJA is holding the first Movie Night of the year!
To open up with our series of Movie Nights, we will be showing The Secret World of Arrietty. The anime is a 2010 product of Studio Ghibli, what is known as the Walt Disney of Japan which brought us the Academy Award winning Spirited Away.
The film tells the story of Arrietty, a young Borrower who lives under the floorboards of a typical household. She eventually befriends Sho, a human boy with a heart condition since birth who is living with his great aunt Sadako. When Sadako’s maid Haru becomes suspicious of the floorboard’s disturbance, Arrietty and her family must escape detection, even if it means leaving their beloved home.
The movie will be in Japanese with English subtitles so this will be a great way to practice your language for those who are studying Japanese.
We hope to see you all.
