Hi Everyone! While everything in our world today can be uncertain and it is easy to be negative, I strongly encourage you to look for a positive thing that has happened every day! Yes, virtual classes can be difficult to adjust to and although club activities are somewhat limited, there is always something new to…

Cooperative living is something not many people know about on Purdue’s campus, but something that needs to be promoted more. I am now a junior living in a cooperative house for my third year. I have seen and learned so much in just three years. In case you don’t know what cooperative living is, it…
