Friday, Nov. 15-Ball in the House musical performance from 11:30am-12:45pm in the A. Lincoln Commons! Ball in the House isn’t what you think. Taking a cappella to a new level, Ball in the House is so much more than just another singing group. They’re the redefinition of the a cappella genre with everything you’d expect from a world-class soul, pop, R&B group — except the instruments. They are the voices behind the Cool Whip commercials. That’s right, you’ve probably heard them dozens of times before, and didn’t even know it! They’ve toured with pop sensations like Sugar Ray, Jessica Simpson and Darius Rucker, while also dialing up a piece of the past supporting The Temptations and Smokey Robinson. 5 guys, 5 voices – that’s it! This is a Red & Blue Crew Arts/Education event sponsored by the Logger Activities Board.
Come to the R.H. Stephens Room from noon-1pm to enjoy a fantastic presentation and a great lunch! Altheal Randolph is a dynamic coach, a compassionate leader and an engaging public speaker on a national and international level. Whether advocating medical treatment and AIDS education for women in Nairobi, Kenya or teaching a woman the value of financial independence in Birmingham, Alabama (her hometown), Altheal is highly regarded as a friend and cheerleader for a God-centered, abundant life-which she considers her highest calling. She will share her unique experiences working with the largest HIV/AIDS healthcare network in Los Angeles and the Sister-Woman HIV/AIDS project, which led her to Nairobi and Mombasa, Kenya. Students eat lunch free and $3 for nonstudents.
