Homecoming!!!

It's that time of year again! Homecoming week is coming up fast. We have a bunch of events available for all UCONN students to attend.

First, we have the Homecoming Parade on Sunday, October 9th at 1:30PM. The parade route starts at Glenbrook Road, leads onto Hillside Road and end a the South Campus end of Gilbert Road.

Immediately following the Parade is the Homecoming Carnival at South Campus. Free rides, games, food, and giveaways will be available so make sure you stop by to check this out.

Next, we have the Homecoming Royalty Pageant and Alma Mater Sing on October 12 at 7PM in Jorgensen. Come see the King and Queen candidates from various campus organizations compete for the Homecoming titles. Six groups will sing their version of the alma mater to try and win the opportunity to sing at the Homecoming football Game.

Lip Sync is also coming up on October 13 from 8-11PM in Gampel Pavilion. Admission is free! Come to watch student organizations perform a routine of dance and skits in one of the biggest events of the year!

Homecoming week will wrap up with the UCONN vs USF game Saturday October 15!

We hope to see all of you at these events!

Female Orgasm

Ready for the best orgasm ever? Sex educators Marshall Miller and Dorian Solot came to UConn last week  for their annual Female Orgasm presentation. As always, the two hour long lecture was hilariously funny as well as very informative. Marshall and Dorian have really mastered the art of addressing much needed information that some college students might find hard to come by with a light and judgement-free environment. Rest assured that all your orgasm questions were answered and hopefully this won't be the last time UConn's gets to host the Big O.

Sammy Adams Concert 9/17/2011

Sam Adams getting the crowd going

Sammy Adams

Today in South Campus Quad The Concert for Causes was held by our own SUBOG concert committee. Our own Dj Manni opened for Sammy Adams, he got the crowd going with his electro style music and he pumped up the crowd while everyone was waiting in anticipation for Sam Adams! Finally when Sam Adams came out onto the stage he gave a phenomenal performance!!! Not only did he praise us for our amazing basketball team, he even got the crowd going with one of our UCONN chants! He performed brand new songs and even favorites such as "I hate college". Sophomore Cate Reid stated, " I love Sammy Adams! He is adorable and I love all his songs!" Both artists did a great job for such an important cause. It was truly a great show.

Vijay Sekhara

Hi! I am a senior Chemical Engineering major with a minor in chemistry and materials engineering. I am the Vice President of Policy for the second year in a row and have been a member of SUBOG for three years. I was also USG senator my Junior year. I love all 90's alternative rock music and my favorite foods are anything in the grain group like pasta and bread. My favorite campus events have to be attending the football games and purple is my favorite color.

Ben Spiegel

Hi! I am a senior Communications major and this years Concert Chair. I love baked mac and cheese and my most recent concert I attended was BOB and my favorite on campus event would have to be watching the championship game in Gampel with everyone last semester. My most embarrassing moment at UConn was when I was working at the Ludacris concert. I had to carry around a bunch of keys on my belt and my pants ended up falling down.

Sarah Lauretti

Hi everyone! I am senior Allied Health major, a psychology minor and this years Social Media and Communications chair! I have been a member of SUBOG for 3 years and have loved every second of it. I love listening to Rascal Flatts and Michael Buble' and my favorite food is anything containing pasta. My most embarassing moment at UConn had to be when I fell down the flight of stairs leading down from D-lot after a snow storm last year. My favorite oncampus event that I have attended is a tie between the Women's Basketball games and seeing Gabriel Iglesias perform!

Rohan Saxena

Hi Everyone, I'm Rohan Saxena and am a senior majoring in Finance.  I have been part of SUBOG since my freshman year; I have been the Marketing Chair Sophomore year and have been the Vice President for Outreach for the past two years.  As V.P. for Outreach, I lead the Promotions, Recruitment and Retention, and Social Media Committees.  I love watching cartoons and am a huge fan of Dragonball Z (Goku).  I enjoy being greatly involved at UConn and highly recommend everyone to do the same.  Besides SUBOG, I'm in Zeta Beta Tau, RHA, and have worked with orientation.  I like to listen to all kinds of music, not one in particular.  My most embarrassing moment at UConn is when I made a fool of myself at a SUBOG comedy show...

Markie Theophile

I am a Psychology major and this years Daytime Chair. I do not like saying I have favorites, but I really enjoy listening to Barcelona and Kings of Leon. I had a chimichunga for the first time this summer and I think they are awesome. I don't have embarrassing moments cause I'm awesome!

Kelsey Brown

I am this year's Vice President for Programming.  I am an English Major in my senior year of college and my favorite food is pizza.  I like a lot of different music, but someone I can listen to all day long is Brandi Carlile.  My most embarrassing UConn moment is on the first day of classes this semester, I sat in Arjona, when I was supposed to be in Monteith. It was five minutes before I realized I was in the wrong class and had to try to nonchalantly leave. My favorite on-campus activity that I have attended is the SUBOG movies. I love watching movies and seeing them for cheaper than regular theatres is awesome!

James Albert

I am a 5th semester economics major and will be the Sports Promotion Chairman for the 2011-2012 school year.  I am a huge music fan but with that being said I do not have a particular favorite.  I am currently enjoying the House/Techno/Electronic trend.  My favorite food would have to be anything Italian, particularly pizza.  I do embarrassing things probably more often than not, but I think it just makes everything more fun.  One of my favorite campus activities was last year's awesome Ludacris concert at Jorgensen.

Devin Smith

I am SUBOG's Major Weekends Chair! I am a Senior majoring in Communication Disorders with a minor in French and Psychology. My favorite musician is John Mayer and my favorite food is ice cream :) My favorite on campus activity is a time between Homecoming and One Ton Sundae! My most embarrassing moment, out of many at UConn, would have to be crying out of happiness in Gampel right after winning the National Championship last year. A reporter happened to be right there to interview me while sobbing, and the next day online in an article about the game, everyone in the world knew "Devin Smith, 20, shed tears." What can I say, I just love being a Husky!

John Shevchuk

I am this years Marketing and Promotions chair. I am a fifth
semester Management Information Systems major. I enjoy anything outdoors
from hiking to biking and I love to travel. Winter is just as fun for me
as summer as I spend a lot of time on the ski slopes and I can never get
enough snow. I am a huge music fan of all genres, and have something
playing at all times. My most memorable UConn moment was rushing the floor
in Gampel two years ago when our basketball team upset the then number one
seeded Texas.

Jamille Rancourt

Hi, my name is Jamille Rancourt. I am a sophomore and currently still deciding what career to pursue. I am the Recruitment and Retention Chair for SUBOG. This is a brand new committee that’s looking to expand SUBOG’s involvement and just have fun! I am a sucker for anything chocolatey and sweet. My favorite event on campus is the themed dinners at Northwest (breakfast for dinner!), as well as all SUBOG events! I like to spend my time cutting up paper and calling it scrapbooking.

I am a lover of all things musical! I am a big fan of many bands but my favorite definetly has to be the John Mayer Trio!! I also love tomatoes!! In my short time at UConn I have had many many emberassing moments here. The worst though has to be my almost fatal trip in the middle of Fairfield Way! My foot found the only patch of ice on campus that wasn't melted and bam! down I went. I played it off good though, only about half of the school saw. Haha :)

band is the Red Hot Chili Peppers and my favorite food is Chicken

for them.  My favorite food has got to be anyhog that my mom cooks.  When
