It’s summertime. First, let’s just let that sink in and enjoy it.
Okay, done? Me neither, let’s give it another go around. It’s summertime!
So summertime means that campus is deserted, nothing happening, empty, a ghost town right? That, my future Eagles, is where you are wrong. Summertime is a time for relaxation no doubt but here at Benedictine it is also a time for fun.
One of the core values of Benedictine University is leading a life lived in balance. So to balance out all that hard work you just did in high school, and the work you 
did choosing us as your university, and then the work you did to get registered we thought we would provide a little fun. That is where BenFest comes in. BenFest is a chance for current students, new students, alumni, faculty and staff to come together under the summer sun and do nothing but have a good time.
Food, fun and sun will be present (hopefully so will you) but so will a band called “The Fab Four.” This is a great Beatles tribute band and they will provide the soundtrack and show for what I’m sure will prove to be a great night. I can’t wait to go, and I can’t wait to see you there. Be sure to bring your mom, dad, brother, sister, friends, and of course most importantly yourself.

We can’t wait to kick off the summer and your Benedictine career with a bang at BenFest!
