LTE: A Word Of Thanks
By:
We have moved forward. Last year, Matt Nacier, our teammates, and I envisioned that our administration would not be a perfect one, but a full one. I accept responsibility for everything that UGBC has done over the past year. Although there have been many challenges and criticisms, it would have been a fool’s errand to attempt to please everyone all the time.

April 28 Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down
Thumbs Up After Hours – This year was the first time we made our way to the Arts Fest tent late on Friday evening, but we must say that we were quite impressed. After Hours is a set of four 10-minute plays written, directed, and produced by students. It is all very low key, and…
