What’s The Word October 27, 2014
It’s a great day to be alive and be a cardinal! Cardinals, Happy Halloween! We wish you a great week of studies and a safe weekend with ghost and goblins. Homecoming 2014 was an absolute success and we know it could not have been without the help of the UIW Spirit from you! To the left of this colum you will see the winners of this homecoming court! Each student has his/her own unique talent and we wish everyone the best on your future endeavours. There is a month left before Thanksgiving break and finals! Time sure has been moving creeply fast this past semester! Friendly reminder the last day to drop a class with a “W” is November 20! Mercedes Moreno UIW Newsletter Editor
