Humans vs. Zombies Fall 2011 Video

Genevieve Knab — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 21:05:02 +0000

You may have noticed some strange happenings on campus the week of October 17th: groups of people with Nerf guns, random colorful ties around peoples’ arms, necks, or heads, people running in fear. This was SLU’s own Humans vs. Zombies.

This is a video that will help you understand the attacks and be better prepared in case another zombie outbreak should occur.

Video – Golf Cart Parade 2011

Remember Homecoming 2011? Seems like only a couple of weeks ago. Well, SLU Connection was reminiscing about the annual Golf Cart Parade – where students from various organizations dress up carts and show school spirit – so we put together a little video. Check out interviews with representatives from Billikens After Dark, KSLU, the International Student Federation, and APO! Also, stick around at the end of the video to check out footage of the parade itself! Woah! It’s like you’re actually there!

A Day in The Life of Katie

At the beginning of the semester, we asked you in our poll what our next video project should be. The ballots were in; the tribe had spoken: “A Day in the Life” of a SLU student.

One of the SLU bloggers, Katie, was nice enough to let us stalk follow her through her day (for which we are eternally grateful). Katie, a sophomore in the Doisy College of Health Sciences, let us go to her classes, follow her to lunch, and hang out with her during her evening activities.

What follows is a condensed day in her life.

Choose the Next SLU Connection Video Project

Colin Shevlin — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 16:39:00 +0000

I hope everyone had a rejuvenating, restful, and relaxing summer. I also hope you’re ready to kick off this new semester.

Here at SLU Connection, we’re fans of producing our own videos. This summer we’ve been hard at work on the video resulting from the Room Worth a View Contest. More on that later.

This week we’ve added a poll in which you, the reader, can choose what SLU Connection’s next project will be. Tell us what you want to see! If you’ve got an awesome idea and you don’t see it in the poll, tell us about it!

We’ll get hard to work on our next project when the votes are tallied and the people have spoken.

A patio reception featuring the jazz trio, The Silk Pajamas, will be held on Thursday, May 14, beginning at 5: 30 p.m.

Once again, members of the St. Louis Florists Network will showcase their talent and draw their inspiration from the elegant décor of the 42-room Victorian mansion as they design floral works of art that complement the rooms and areas throughout Cupples House. The flowers and fragrances of spring will cross-pollinate with the art and ambiance of the Historic Samuel Cupples House to create the perfect oasis for a relaxing afternoon.

“Relics of a Glorious Past” at SLUMA

Colin Shevlin — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 20:28:10 +0000

A couple weeks ago SLU Connection was over at the Saint Louis Museum of Art to check out their current exhibit: “Relics of a Glorious Past.” Here’s a little something we put together, complete with an imperial Russian soundtrack.

Bill Nye Huge Hit

Colin Shevlin — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 23:04:05 +0000

Bill Nye was nothing short of awesome last night.

An hour before the show, the doors of the BSC Ballrooms were already surrounded by a teeming mass of students.. The total count for the lecture was about 2,100: 400 over the capacity of the Ballrooms. Students in the Saint Louis Room watched the lecture through the magic of television and the hard work of SLU TV and KSLU.

Mr. Nye covered everything from rock hammers to sundials to ice cores, but the biggest crutch of his lecture was sustainability. Bill Nye argued that climate change was the most pressing matter facing the world today, and that students at Saint Louis University were going to be the ones to (dare I say it) change the world.

After the event, the Science Guy headed up to the Saint Louis room to sign autographs, again to a line of giddy students that snaked well beyond the entrance. The Environmental Task Force, Just Earth! and Parks College held a sustainability fair in the Saint Louis Room as well.

The University News was lucky enough to catch up with Mr. Nye afterward for this interview.

Colin and I got a sneak peek at the Univeristy Theatre’s production of Little Shop of Horrors. If the talented students we saw working on this show are any indication, this is going to be am awesome show.

Here’s the description for those who haven’t been lucky enough to have caught a show before.

A down-and-out skid row floral assistant becomes an overnight sensation when he discovers an exotic plant with a mysterious craving for fresh blood.
