The Student Scoop

Looking for a fun Saturday night activity? Look no further! Join Late Night Programming and Orientation for the first comedian of the year, Pete Lee! The fun starts on Saturday, August 25th at 9 pm at the Rozsa Center. Bring your friends!

As always, this Late Night event is free and funded by the Student Activities Fee.Pete Lee might be the nicest person in New York City, but that’s because it’s impossible to sound aggressive with a Wisconsin accent. Pete was raised in Janesville, WI by divorced parents and a 19-inch television, which is probably why he pursued a career in entertainment. Thanks to his highly rated Comedy Central Presents half hour special, Pete has packed venues at over 500 colleges and universities across the country. Pete has also been a standout on NBC’s Last Comic Standing and played a doctor on the CBS soap opera As the World Turns. His hit YouTube series titled Pete Lee’s Internet Freak Show attracted the attention of television executives. He was quickly hired to be a writer and cast member on FUSE TV’s Video on Trial and cast member on VH1’s Best Week Ever. Pete is a rising star in the college market and on television, but he is also really fun to have dinner with at your town’s Applebee’s.

Volunteers Needed at VRC 

As the recovery from last month’s flood continues, there remains a need for volunteers. While many individuals have stepped forward to help, the Great Lakes Conservation Corps, who is now running the Volunteer Registration Center (VRC), is in need of groups of volunteers. Groups are needed to work on bigger projects like yard maintenance, trash removal and patching driveways with gravel.

The VRC is now located in the former J.C. Penney store in the Copper Country Mall. Volunteers can stop by the VRC 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Groups can stop by the VRC or call the helpline at 482-6626.
