Fun, Fun, Fun

Life should never be about all work and no fun! Therefore, PISA wants to plan social events throughout the year to help balance out our life and provide an outlet for fun, fun, fun. Some suggestions have included a PISA picnic at the beach, a bowling night or a Karaoke night. Like these suggestions? Hate them? Have other suggestions? Let us know by leaving a comment!

Dates for PISA monthly social events have been set! Please join us for relief from studies, teaching and theorizing. Bring your family, your friends and yourself!

Got the urge to step away from the computer and stretch your legs? Feeling social but having guilt at the thought of putting down the books to go out to play? Get over it and get the bowling ball out of the back of the closet! Come out to enjoy a casual afternoon with your fellow & beloved Ph.D. students! Friends, family and kids are all welcome to join in the fun and potential spectacle (as long as the kids aren't bowling prodigies who will embarrass us all)!Starting at 2:00 PM on Sunday, October 16 we'll be at the Pompano Bowl on US1 just south of Copans Road (see map for details). The Pompano Bowl offers reasonable lane rentals (vs. per game rates) a snack bar and the all important lounge. Shoe rentals, of course, are available. Important: This is a BYOS event (Bring Your Own Socks)! Hope to see you there! Be sure to RSVP so we can reserve lanes if there are going to be a substantial number of us!
