SGA leaders outline plans for fall

As one of Student Govern-ment Association’s youngest groups ever — four out of seven committee heads are freshmen — SGA members hope their young age will work to their advantage, President Garrett Gravesen said. ‘Freshmen want to get involved the most on campus, and being so young we can relate to them,’ said Gravesen, a [...]

Online evaluations delayed

Students hoping to find teacher evaluations on the Web will have to wait a little longer — possibly until next fall.

Peer advisement to begin in fall

Starting next fall, all freshmen will have access to a peer adviser — an upperclassman who dishes advice about homesickness, OASIS or simply the best place to go for pizza.
