Organizations and clubs are so much more than going to a meeting every week or picking up a snack at a presentation you attend. Being a part of a campus organization means more than just saying you’re in it and not doing the work. These groups welcome growth, diversity and valuable skills fo…
As graduation comes closer with each passing day, I’m filled with a mixture of anxiety and excitement.
One of my favorite things about the time we all live in is the willingness of individuals and businesses to become more eco friendly. So many restaurants have switched to sustainable straws and eco-friendly to-go containers, and so many individuals have started spending more time and money r…
