Events Council
Programming for first-year and all-campus events.
Student Life Events Council
The Student Life Events Council is made up of a group of students who plan campus-wide events. We facilitate spaces for memory-making and to supplement students' educational lives here at OSU-Cascades. We love what we do! Check out some of our signature events below. These events change with the interests of our students. Check this page for the most up to date information!
All of these programs and more are brought to you by The Student Life Events Council. If you have ideas for events or programs you want to see, or if you want to get involved, stop by and visit us in the Student Life Office (Residence Hall 118).
Signature Events
Cascades Welcome
Begin your journey at OSU-Cascades with an action-packed week of activities. You'll connect with other incoming Bend Beavs, learn more about our campus community, and have fun trying new things. Open to all new first-year and transfer students.
Flannel Fest
Gear up for the week in your favorite flannel! We host axe throwing, a chili cook-off, and a pie eating contest. There are other fun activities such as pumpkin painting and line dancing. The festivities span across several days so students can kick-off the start of fall!
Tykeson Takeover
Tykeson Hall may normally host your classes, but we take it over for one night. Visit us in multiple classrooms, all with different themes! There will be Nintendo Switches, board games, puzzles and more. Don't miss out on the fun!
Moonlight Breakfast
Take a study break and treat yourself! Typically hosted during dead week, we want to give you a chance to relax. Join us to have a late-night breakfast themed snack with your fellow students.
Grad Party
Join us in celebrating our graduates. Historically hosted at Worthy Brewing, this is a chance for graduates, friends and families to all come together and enjoy a celebratory bite together. There will be decorations, grad swag and more!
