Hope everyone is having a great start to their semester!!
As we enter fall, we want to invite you all to the last BBQ of the season. SAAM is hosting a BBQ in the Steam plant lot on Sunday, Sep 26th 2021 at 3 PM. Anyone is welcome to join, we DO NOT have a number restriction as our last event had. But if you are sure you will be joining us please write down your name in the link below so we have some idea about the amount of food we can get. The food will consist of south asian style bbq, with tandoori chicken (will have halal meat), tandoori paneer and some naan and veggies. There will also be paddle boarding supervised by the Maine Bound Adventure Center.

We are super excited to welcome all new and returning people back to campus.
