ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø

The second annual CommUniversity, a celebration of ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø, will feature more than 80 groups providing a variety of free food, entertainment, art, culture, information, tours, and scientific displays and demonstrations from 4 to 7 p.m. March 13 in the ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø Pond Student Union.

"ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø and the communities of Southeast Idaho are closely linked and we again want to celebrate that relationship," said Mark Levine, ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø director of Marketing and Communications.

ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø is inviting adults, children, families, businesses, organizations and everyone in surrounding communities to come to campus. CommUniversity is a joint effort by volunteers from local communities and ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø to connect, support, and foster a strong spirit of mutual support, according to organizers.
