Mizuumi-Con has flown from the nest and is now its own separate entity, no longer connected with Our Lady of the Lake University. Visit them at https://www.mizuumicon.org

We had a great success running our 5th Mizuumi-Con at OLLU. The club is proud to have been able to make this happen and bring thousands of people (literally) to the OLLU campus here in San Antonio.

Welcome students!

Welcome to the new year, everyone!

I'm excited about getting a new start and having some fun, as well as getting going on the planning for OLLU's Anime Convention - Mizuumi-con. The next convention is March 31st, 2012. It's a great time to be at OLLU!

Mizuumi Con 4: Meet the Staff

With the convention coming up I thought it would be a good idea to introduce you to some of the faces you're bound to see come con-day.

It's.....

Welcome to Fall 2010

Welcome, new students, to OLLU! The Mizuumi Anime Club, one of OLLU’s most active and fun student orgs, is about to kick off a great year of anime showings and special events. Officer elections happened at the final meeting of last semester, and we’re proud to present the leadership team for the 10-11 school year.

President: Patrick D Lloyd
Vice-President: Paul M Trejo
Secretary: Heather L Bopray
Treasurer: Aleia I Elgabrowny

If you haven’t heard, the Mizuumi Anime Club hosts Mizuumi-Con on campus every year. This one-day anime convention will be held in mid-April 2011. The 2011 event will be the 4th Mizuumi-Con. Last year, we had over 1500 attendees here enjoying our beautiful campus and partaking in events. The convention is a fundraiser for the club and a charity event. In the past, a portion of the proceeds have been donated to the Congregation of Divine Providence, the order that founded and continues to sponsor OLLU. Mizuumi-Con always needs staff and volunteers, so we hope that many of you will be interested in helping to make #4 the best one yet!

Good luck for a successful school year!

Mizuumi Anime Club Advisor

"Ponyo"

Dear Mizuumi Club Members,

This week we want to do something different. With the movie "PONYO" out, we want to go view it. Instead of meeting for our "normal" club viewing, we are going to the movies. Here's the catch, you will have to pay for your ticket and...............................................................................................you HAVE to let us know if you want to go. We are getting the Lake vans and making the trip to Fiesta 16 Theaters for our little adventure. The movie begins at 7:40 so we will be leaving around 6:30. Tickets will be $7.50 WITH STUDENT ID.

Please email us back and let us know that you WANT to go. If you have any questions please email us back. And yes it is for this Friday.

Club Rush 09

We had a fun time at club rush and met lots of new students. The table was well staffed with officers, advisors, and members who always like to hang around (you know who you are :p). We had lots of goodies to show off and VP Cross’s great idea of cheering every time someone signed up for the mailing list was the hit of club rush. We have to do that every year!

Here’s a great picture of us all taken by Liz Longoria of our Marketing department:
