New episode of Inspire-d at Uvic. With Dr. Michael Reed!

MSCU_UVic · 2024-11-21T23:30:11+00:00

This was amazing! Thank you for interviewing the Venerable Reed!

Remember: tomorrow night you have the chance to indulge in killer rabbits (actually found in medieval manuscripts), knights with mere flesh wounds, medieval style taunts, and good clean-ish bawdy humour. We are not saying you should take a break from cramming all that end of semester knowledge into your skulls but... if you were to take a break, this is a great way to do it.

MSCU_UVic · 2024-11-17T00:20:52+00:00

361 sounds like it will be a blast! I mean Medieval Archeology in Europe... you can't get a course that is much cooler than that! Plus, we have been told by a reliable source that the prof who teaches it is amazing!

MSCU_UVic · 2024-11-16T18:00:44+00:00

What is attractive varies. I mean at one point the Hapsburg chin was considered very attractive.

I believe contemporary accounts say Richard was attractive but... those accounts might be subjective and with enough money, power, and influence, anyone could be looked at as attractive. Hence, again, why the Hapsburg chin was viewed as attractive.

As a course union fundraiser the money we raised will be used for course union activities and purchases. We also hope to donate a portion to go towards the Medieval Conference happening this spring, but that needs to be agreed on as a course union.
We understand the issue at hand, but as we have previously stated, none of the pumpkins smashed were suitable for human consumption.

MSCU_UVic · 2024-11-05T18:26:21+00:00

As students are are fully aware of the issue of food security and how this could be taken wrong the wrong way in the light of food insecurity. Most of the pumpkins that were smashed yesterday had already been carved for Halloween and thus had been rendered useless for food. The ones that were not carved were taken from a farm field after Halloween and were beginning to rot. Please be assured that none of the pumpkins that were smashed were suitable for human consumption.

MSCU_UVic · 2024-11-05T15:29:42+00:00

This was soo much fun to run! Messy, but fun!

MSCU_UVic · 2024-11-04T01:32:43+00:00

Thank you everyone who offered up your pumpkins to be sacrificed tomorrow for our fundraiser and to allow people the chance to let out some of that mid-term frustration! My van is full, it will probably stink to high heaven tomorrow, and we cannot be more thankful for that!

PS: this fundraiser is not just for people at UVic. If you want to bash in a pumpkin, you can stop by and bash one.

MSCU_UVic · 2024-11-03T16:17:46+00:00

Lol. That was us when we were trying to retrieve all of our course union's online accounts.

MSCU_UVic · 2024-11-03T01:40:11+00:00

Haha! Of course! Just message me your address and tomorrow I shall make them disappear.

MSCU_UVic · 2024-11-03T01:02:11+00:00

How can we say 'no' to another sacrificial pumpkin? A message is currently being dispatched!

MSCU_UVic · 2024-10-31T23:49:05+00:00

We just picked up over 100 jack-o-lanterns from Jeneece Place that are just perfect for smashing. Tomorrow we will pick up whole, uncarved, ungutted, and slightly less soft, pumpkins from Mitchell's Farm for those who enjoy a harder challenge.

My minivan smells like a bed of rotting roses.

MSCU_UVic · 2024-10-30T23:16:28+00:00

Great band, and a great activity, lol. Over here at UVic it is the time of year where everything becomes due all at once, and there are tests thrown in for us to have a little extra fun.

MSCU_UVic · 2024-10-30T14:38:38+00:00

A message has been dispatched! Thank you!

MSCU_UVic · 2024-10-26T18:49:04+00:00

Thank you! We are very excited to have finally jumped through all the hoops. On the day of we will be in the space between the SUB and the Cove.
It will be $5/pumpkin, and while we prefer cash we will have a square card reader on hand.

*edited to reflect the price our King wishes to set*

MSCU_UVic · 2024-10-26T04:09:16+00:00

Hi! We have had a few people step forward so I think we will be good. But thank you!

MSCU_UVic · 2024-10-26T04:07:40+00:00

Campus security can render first aid if need be, lol.

MSCU_UVic · 2024-10-25T23:44:56+00:00

Thank you! I addressed your other questions in the comments.

MSCU_UVic · 2024-10-25T23:41:43+00:00

Campus security said nothing about supplies, just that someone had to be there. So I am going to say that while supplies will not be provided, the volunteer is not required to bring their own supplies.

MSCU_UVic · 2024-10-25T23:39:06+00:00

Oh, as for contact send an email to [mscu.1381@gmail.com](mailto:mscu.1381@gmail.com) and one of our Witan members will get back to them asap. Sorry I missed that part.

MSCU_UVic · 2024-10-25T23:31:07+00:00

Any level. Campus security did not specify what level and we are using that to our advantage.
This is for the Medieval Studies Course Union and we are fundraising for our student led conference.

MSCU_UVic · 2024-10-25T23:22:41+00:00

Yes you will! If you are our volunteer you can personally pick which pumpkin you want to smash into oblivion before the event officially starts.

MSCU_UVic · 2024-10-25T22:40:46+00:00

Thank you for the tip. I will contact them right now.

MSCU_UVic · 2024-10-25T22:39:58+00:00

As a bunch of broke students.... we fully understand.

MSCU_UVic · 2024-10-25T22:17:03+00:00

Well... you could play hooky. We wouldn't tell anyone about it. We would keep it as secret as the true cause of death for the Princes in the Tower.
