Changes

By Gisselle Hernandez, Features Editor  As finals week creeps upon us, we prepare to depart this rollercoaster of a semester (aren’t they all). Although I’d like to bid it goodbye by bellowing my farewell from the rooftops, one last column with me lecturing you on the usual will have to suffice. I don’t graduate until Read More

Safety First

By Brianna Willis, Assistant Features Editor  Recently, I have had a series of experiences that have left me feeling incredibly uncomfortable on campus.
