The
Office of Student Leadership and Activities hosts Explore Next Door
(END), a series of events that take place in the fall and spring
semester open to undergraduate students. These trips seek to
introduce students to the cultural wealth of New York City, and
provide them with an opportunity to connect with their fellow
students, faculty and administrators outside of the classroom. This
time we're off to Broadway for Green Day's American Idiot. American
Idiot follows the exhilarating journey of a new generation of young
Americans as they struggle to find meaning in a post-9/11 world,
borne along by Green Day's electrifying score. This high-octane
show includes every song from the acclaimed album American Idiot,
as well as several songs from the band's Grammy-winning release,
21st Century Breakdown. An energy-fueled rock opera, American
Idiot, features little dialogue and instead relies on the lyrics
from Green Day's groundbreaking album to execute the story line.
The stage is festooned by a collage of art and newspaper clippings
as well as over a dozen embedded .
The
fall END trips are open only to new registered first-year and new
transfer undergraduate students. If you attended an END trip during
Welcome Week you are not eligible to attend a trip during the fall
semester. Students are required to pay a $10 deposit to hold their
spot. Your deposit is refunded when you attend the event. Students
must cancel by 9 am three business days before their scheduled
event by contacting the Student Leadership Office in 260 Student
Center at 516-463-6914.
