Event: Big "C" Hike!

Hey scholars! We are holding our first ever Big C Hike!!! If you didn’t know, the Big C is literally a big block that’s shaped as a letter “C” located on the Berkeley hills near campus. At the top, you’ll be able to see a gorgeous view of campus and the city. It’s a hike but it’s a great mini workout, as well as a great opportunity to bond with your fellow COSA scholars!

When: Wednesday Sept. 15 from approx. 6:00-8:30

Where to meet: At Sproul Fountain (located near Sproul Hall and the Cal student store)

What to wear: Comfortable casual clothes that you can hike in, as well as a sweater for it might get chilly at the top! (*We will be providing water bottles*)

What to bring: Yourself, friends, and an open mind!

Please RSVP by commenting here, through email, or through Facebook by Wednesday at 3pm if you are interested in attending.

Thanks and hope to see you all there!!
