Notes from the SGA Pres: On Student Spaces

I hope everyone has had a great start to their semester! This week, I thought it would be a great idea to talk about something that has been on the minds of many students,--dining changes.

A Stripper’s Manifesto

Respect. R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Written on the chalkboards of kindergarten classrooms, in gymnasiums and in doctor’s offices. From a young age, we are told that the respect we give is the respect we get. As a young adult lady today, I have not found this to be true.
