Spring Break Staycation
Spring Break was a little different this year, but Swatties were all smiles during last week's Staycation, thanks to over 35 events on campus, hosted by more than 10 different offices.
Here are some of the highlights from last weeks programming, which included board games, BBQs, bow ties, and everything between:
