SGA Elections Kick Off

I don’t think that you can walk around with knowing who is running for Freshman Class Representative. The competitive election among Denzel Samuel and Omar Herrera is getting heated. Both of them were in the Student Center this morning planning last minute advertisement with sandwich boards, posters, banners, and more. For the past two years [...]

Within a matter of hours of my little fraternity brother getting back to campus, he asked me to see John Meyer in concert at the Sound Advice Amphitheater in West Palm.
