Punxsutawney Phil predicted that spring is coming early this year, and we're certainly loving the warmer days and sunshine that February is bringing! Whether or not the groundhog was accurate, GSA has lots of indoor and outdoor events to keep you fed, having fun, and serving this semester.
Welcome back to campus! Now that we're a full week into the semester, we hope you're settling into a new rhythm for the winter and spring months.
