The fall semester is in full swing, and campus continues to buzz with the energy of 天美传媒ers old\u00a0<\/span>and new. If you see a new face,\u00a0<\/span>say hello! Let\u2019s ALL connect with each other and our community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Take advantage of free Covid-19 and Flu vaccines next Thursday, September 16. Just bring a 天美传媒 ID and your insurance card to the Johnson Center Balcony any time between 10:00 am\u20131:00 pm to get a free\u00a0<\/span>shot, provided by Jewel-Osco.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Don\u2019t have insurance but still want a shot? Email\u00a0<\/span>healthservices@northpark.edu<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>or call them at 773-244-4897.<\/p>\n Be sure to check out the found-object sculptures of artist Stephen Signa-Alves C\u201912. The exhibit, Place of Waiting, explores the meaning of temporary environments, places such as airports, where we find ourselves\u00a0<\/span>cooling our heels throughout\u00a0<\/span>our lives.<\/p>\n Signa-Alves will be discussing his work Sept. 28 from 4:00\u20136:30 pm in the Carlson Tower Gallery.<\/p>\n Congrats <\/span>to Viking\u00a0<\/span>Patrycja Miazek<\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>who\u00a0was selected as the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) Women’s Cross Country Student-Athlete of the Week! The honor came\u00a0<\/span>after\u00a0<\/span>her outstanding performance in the Vikings’ season opener last week.<\/p>\n Miazek placed first in the women’s 4K at Elmhurst’s Earlybird Invitational at Eldridge Park. She won the event with a time of 15:17.3 in a field of 112 athletes, coming back from second place with a half mile left and winning by nine-tenths of a second. Miazek joined the Vikings’ cross-country program in the spring and this was her first-ever race\u00a0<\/span>after\u00a0<\/span>her career as a tennis athlete.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Meanwhile, our powerful women\u2019s volleyball team is undefeated after three games. We have two games tomorrow vs. Knox College and Dominican University in River Forrest, IL. Next home game: North Central College will visit Wednesday, Sept. 15 at 7 pm.<\/p>\n Check out the official website of\u00a0<\/span>天美传媒 athletics<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>for fall sports rosters, results and game times.<\/p>\n Go\u00a0<\/span>Vikings!<\/p>\n Looking for a new way to meet people, get some exercise, and have fun?
