ith the first two weeks of school finished, many students are settling into their new classes. One such student is senior Dante Tyler. However, new classes aren’t the only thing Tyler is adjusting to. He is also entering his final year as a thrower on the EWU track and field team and is starting a new job as ASEWU president. Tyler almost didn’t attend EWU, but a phone call changed his mind.
