A big thank you to Sammy for spending time with us at Newton Gresham Library!
From photo ops around the library to meeting students and staff, Sammy helped spread Bearkat pride wherever he went. We loved having you visit and can't wait to see you again soon!

Looks like Bigfoot wasn't the only one making an appearance! Thank you to everyone who stopped by our Resource Fair. We loved seeing students connect with campus resources, check out library services, explore our collections and games, and join in on the fun. A special thank you to all of our campus partners for helping make the event a success. We couldn't have done it without you!

These have been some of the best years of my life. I am so incredibly thankful for Spirit Programs and my coaches for everything they have done for me. Getting to embody Sammy and getting to be such an involved student is something I could have only dreamed of.
Through all my ups and downs Sammy has been a constant and I am so grateful I got to be a part of his team for so long. It was an honor leading his group this final year and I cannot wait to see what he does next.
