Lambuth Campus Felicia Ingram ACSS: How do you balance commuting and being involved? I try to make time to attend events, and a lot of praying! ACSS: Any advice for commuter students? Attempt to be involved on campus, get to know people. Just because you’re commuting, doesn’t mean you can’t still have that college experience. ACSS: What’s an interesting fact about you? I listen to Christmas music year round!
