Grad Fundraiser

Friday, January 16th, 2026, the Grad Committee will be hosting our first ever Movie Matinee fundraiser in the theatre.  Tickets will be sold for $5 a piece in advance with select seating in The Space the first week back after Winter Break.  Priority will first go to the graduating class and then open to all students.  Any remaining tickets will be sold on a first-come-first-serve basis at the door the day of the event.  The Committee has chosen The Lego Batman Movie as our first screening with a runtime of just under two hours.  The movie will start promptly after classes end that Friday - theatre opens at 1:45 and the film will start at 2:00pm.  Popcorn will be sold at the door for $2/bag with all proceeds from ticket and snack sales going towards the Grad Committee fund.
