So this year, we made some changes.
✅ Added a 1 Mile Walk
✅ Added pancakes 🥞

Congrats to the Tactical Tossers on taking home the 2026 Summer Staff Bocce Ball League title! 🏆

Twelve teams, four weeks, and a whole lot of lunchtime fun 🤩 A great example of how our campus makes time for connection, friendly competition, and well-being all summer long ☀️

Even campus staff are getting in on the action… have you? 👀 Give bocce a try when you’re back on campus! Equipment can be checked out at the TRAC front desk or Founder’s Residence Hall desk.

Here’s a look back at some of our favorite moments from the 2025-2026 school year 📸
