BULLETIN BOARD

Z Center 20th Anniversary Celebration

In October 2002, The Moneyball Oakland A's won the American League West (well before the bestselling book and movie were both written), Nelly and Kelly Rowland's song "Dilemma" topped the charts, and Ice Cube's hit movie Barbershop was the box office gold. That same week, the Z Center opened its doors.

On October 15-16, the Z Center is celebrating two decades of great moments with a weekend of events at the Z Center. Join them for athletic events on campus, a community continental breakfast, and the 2022 Indoor Triathlon! For more information on registering click here.
