Student Development sponsored a Finals Frenzy on the G-Level of Hammond Hall where students could grab a breakfast sandwich to fuel up for finals.

Part of the college experience is getting involved. We encourage our students to take advantage of the opportunities offered outside the classroom, whether you join a club, attend events, volunteer, or seek employment.

There are currently about 75+ active clubs and organizations on campus. They range from large, general organizations like the Student Government Association (SGA) and Fitchburg Activities Board (FAB), to smaller, more niche organizations like Quidditch club or Exercise and Sports Science club. Starting a new club is also always an option. Gymnastics club and the Ice Hockey club were both recently created in the past year.

Senior Political Science major Allison Turner presented her Honors Thesis - Breaking Barriers: Affirmative Action in Higher Education to Economics, History, and Political Science faculty yesterday afternoon. A lively discussion, and questions on future initiatives, were considered.

Last week, students in Professor Sally Moore's Sculpture 1 class worked with various materials to create human or animal forms.
