Spring on Campus

by Chris Low

Spring is definitely in full swing here in the Northwest. The colors on campus really start to pop this time of year. Unfortunately, it's right about the time of graduation, when everyone leaves. Haha, get it, leaves? Anyway, campus is looking really good right about now; we wish you were here to see it for yourself. Since you are not, here is a little compilation of our spring 2021 greatest hits.

This year was hard, and it feels nice to celebrate a complete academic year on campus. Thank you, students, faculty and staff, for all doing your part.

How to Make Friends

Do you remember the last time you had to make friends? For some of us, it was way back in elementary school. For others, like myself, maybe you had to move schools and start the process of making new friends in high school. No matter what, you must set out on this adventure of making new friends once again as you begin the next chapter of your life in college.
