Spring 2026 Crafternoon schedule

This semester we're repeating a few favorites and adding a few new events.

Spring 2026 Crafternoon Events!

At the end of January, help to set your intentions or keep up with your life goals by making personal punch cards/BINGO cards.

Join us on Tuesday, September 23 in the OCC Lobby from 11am-1pm and on Thursday, September 25 downstairs in the Main Campus Library from 1pm-3pm.

You can stop by at any time during the workshop and stay for as short or as long as you want.
