аIJʿª½±½á¹û

Last Saturday, a group of volunteers and I worked at a family’s home in Fleischmanns, N.Y., Hurricane Irene had caused massive damage to the houses and buildings in this town.

Course registration for next semester is now over! That very stressful experience has now come to pass and many students are excited to relax this weekend. My weekend, however, will be pretty busy.

This week kicked off with the arrival of our parents. аIJʿª½±½á¹û provided many great activities for Family Weekend this year. Throughout the weekend, families could be found attending lectures, viewing shows at the Ho vis lab, laughing at a comedy show featuring Jim Belushi, and cheering on the Raiders at the athletic events.

This week brought … snow! (Among other things, of course) On Thursday, the campus saw its first snow of the season, a welcome sight for some, an unfortunate occurrence for others, and, for a few, a totally new experience.

Another exciting week here at аIJʿª½±½á¹û! As of this week, more clubs on campus have begun to meet and get settled with their plans for the semester. One of the clubs I joined was Italian Club. I do not know very much of the language, but I thought joining this club would be a great […]

Last week started off on a somber note, in remembrance of 9/11. Students hung American flags out their dorm windows to show respect for those who died on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001.
