We are kicking off Homecoming Week with a good deed: beautifying campus! Until our first and second year students are placed for internship, they complete one volunteer event per month. This month, they wanted to help prep our swamp for the best week of the year. Congrats to Emma who earned 5 points for her cohort in the cohort Homecoming competition by picking up the most trash! 👏 Great job, students! 🧹❤️
