Friday Social Group

What is Friday Social Group?

Friday Social Group is a fun and relaxed gathering!

TU students and Hussman Center participants get together and have a good time playing games, doing theme-based activities, or just hanging out and getting to know each other.

We offer a bi-weekly Social Group on Fridays during the fall and spring semesters. Social Groups are announced via email, and participants register to attend using SignUp Genius.

*You must be 18 or older to participate in Social Groups*

When does Friday Social Group meet?

Friday Social Groups only occur during Fall & Spring Semesters.

Social group takes place at the Hussman Center and will occur from 5:30-7:30 p.m. this Fall.

Our Social Group Schedule for the Spring will be published in early January.

How to sign up and pay for Friday Social Group

You need to be on our social group email list to receive social group announcements. If you’re not already on the email list, please sign up for emails.

Social Group email announcements are sent by 4 p.m. on Fridays, a week prior to when a social group is scheduled.

The first 75 people who enter their name on the sign up are automatically accepted into the group and are expected to complete the $10 payment online by Wednesday afternoons at 4 p.m. In addition to the payment a Social group visitor form is required to be completed. You should receive an automatic email from Sign-Up genius reminding you to complete the payment and visitor form process. If your ability to attend changes, please contact us at so that we can make room for another individual.
