Tuesday, Feb. 14
Men's Basketball vs. VCU

What it is: The Patriots take on big-time rivals VCU at home this week in what's sure to be one of the most exciting games of the season.

Why it’s our pick: Mason and VCU are currently tied for first in the CAA Men's Basketball rankings, with the victor of this game clinching the top the spot (unless Drexel beats William and Mary).  This is going to be one of the season's most important games and you don't want to miss it.

Where: Patriot Center, 9 p.m.

Wednesday, Feb. 15
Resume and Cover Letter Writing Workshop

What it is: At this event, Career Services will teach attendees how to build and improve resumes and cover letters, as well as familiarize students with the various resume building resources available.  Attendees are encouraged to bring a draft resume or cover letter.

Why it’s our pick: In this less than stellar job market, any edge you can find might be what gets you that job.  Having a well-crafted resume might be the advantage that does it.

Where: SUB I room 3400, 3:30 – 5 p.m.

Thursday, Feb. 16
When the House Burns Down – Opening Reception

Can't Scare Me, The Story of Mother Jones
