Welcome Back!

As we get started on yet another school year, we in the CVGA welcome you all, both new and returning students!

We resume our regular Fall semester hours as of today:

• Monday: Noon - 9pm
• Tues - Friday: 10am - 9pm
• Saturday: 1pm - 9pm
• Sunday: Closed

(But note: This Friday—the 6th—we will not open until 1pm.)

Stop by and visit; we're in room B474 in the basement of the Duderstadt Center. We've added many new games over the summer and even a few new systems, including an Apple ][!
