This year’s Mile of Music Festival was another great one. By the end, we couldn’t be the only ones thinking how it would also be good if this could happen more often. Luckily the Miler Gurus must have similar thoughts because they indeed do create an essence of the Mile throughout the year. They have a New Year’s party and […] Read More

Without worry, you can read while afloat or poolside or on your way walking through campus during a rainstorm, doing so because you forgot to do the reading the night before. The latter seems a little dangerous. How is that any different than everyone else […] Read More
