"We've been trying to get them to come out to UConn for years," said Jay Frain, director of the Outdoor Adventure program. "This year we're taking a big group out to Glastonbury to see it."
Tickets and transportation to the film festival are $15 for SRF members and available at the SRF.
SRF members include all full-time students and any part-time students or faculty and staff who have purchased memberships.
But there are other events going on as well, Frain said.
"We conceptualize it as a whole weekend," he said, listing off events such as Huskython, Outdoor Adventure trips and Bodywise classes going on both on Friday and over the weekend. "We try to highlight everything we offer students on our campus."
Two sessions of the "largest Bodywise classes ever" will take place at 3 and 4 p.m. in the SU Ballroom. The classes being offered are among the most popular ones ñ Interval Express at 3 and Pilates at 4 p.m. There will not be a size limit for those two classes. Even if it snows, the classes will still take place, according Michael D'Alfonso, coordinator of fitness and wellness. Students who attend Bodywise classes tomorrow will also receive free T-shirts, he said.
Students can also participate in a "Happy Hour" of volleyball, badminton and table tennis from 6 p.m. until midnight at the SRF.
For more structured, tournament-style play, Intramurals will be hosting a wallyball tournament at 6 p.m. at the racquetball courts. Participants should arrive at the courts after 5:30 to register their four-person co-rec teams, according to Bhavin Parekh, assistant director of intramurals and special events.
