Student Activities
Grace students often get involved on campus by participating in campus groups or activities. The Student Activities Board (SAB) regularly plans special events on and off-campus. Some favorites include: Price is Right night, Ritter's Night, Pizza Hut night, and SAB Blowout, and themed semi-formal events. Recent semi-formals have included Swing Dance and '90s Night.
Many students also participate in SERVE teams, which are student-led volunteer groups. Grace has more than 20 SERVE teams, which participate in both on and off-campus volunteer work. Some popular SERVE teams include: Boys and Girls Club, College Mentors for Kids, Our Father's House (serving at a local soup kitchen), and Grace Village (a team that visits the elderly in a local retirement home).

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or activities:
“Beauty, like all other qualities presented to human experience, is relative; and the definition of it becomes unmeaning and useless in proportion to its abstractness. To define beauty not in the most abstract, but in the most concrete terms possible, not to find a universal formula for it, but the formula which expresses most adequately this or that special manifestation of it, is the aim of the true student of aesthetics.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“No culture on earth outside of mid-century suburban America has ever deployed one woman per child without simultaneously assigning her such major productive activities as weaving, farming, gathering, temple maintenance, and tent-building. The reason is that full-time, one-on-one child-raising is not good for women or children.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
