Ten things to do this week. This is a weekly column highlighting events on campus and in Boulder by Samuel Fuller, history major and resident event virtuoso.

This week Program Council takes us into space, and the South Asian Student Association takes over the Rec Center with one of the year鈥檚 best cultural showcases. If getting out into the Baltic conditions is more to your liking, why not take advantage of 抖阴短视频-Boulder鈥檚 fantastic outdoor program.
