THE BEST Keeping up with thie pace of student life can be fun and exhausting. Events like Spring Fling, Homecoming, Step Sing, SOAR, theatre produc- tions, and the Miss UNA Pageant take hard work and dedicated group members to be successful. Students also have class lectures, lab work, homework assignments, research papers, group projects, and various other academic commit- ments that must be completed before extracur- ricular activities can take priority. Many students also have outside jobs and family commitments that take time and effort. It is amazing that this campus runs so efficiently. Fortunately for stu- dents, our faculty and staff participate in the fun stuff and seek to educate and make us bet- ter human beings. Student life is fun, but hard work is what makes our students the best. 6 Student Life Divudon Kige
