You should feel entitled to create the look that best suits you, whether your morning routine consists of splashing cold water on your face, throwing your hair up into a messy top bun and...
We shivered under the chilly evening on Tuesday, Nov. 18 before entering HUB 302. Buzz and excitement were in the air for the event of the night: ASPB’s Beyond the Screen.

Zombified students gathered in the dozens at the Stress Relief Campfire last Thursday evening as they sought to alleviate their stressful burdens of upcoming exams or midterm scores.

People trickled slowly into ARTS 157 last Tuesday afternoon. Most quickly found their seat while others darted up to say a quick hello to theater professor Tiffany Ana Lopez and playwright Migdalia Cruz.
