More...2014 WAFCS Conference
As an advocate for joining things and signing up for things, I always run the hazard of sounding like an advertisement. That’s not really my intention though.

More...The Tutoring-Learning Center, which I love
Alright, so in the chronicle of my signing up for more and more things, I’ve written my love songs for my very first campus involvement, SPAFCS, and my third, the Cupboard.
