Rave of the week

By If you haven't noticed, the campus looks a little different these days. Maybe not different than yes

We notice these campus additions separately through grand-opening galas or whatnot. What we don't always catch is the way the entire campus is changing for the better. Whether the powers-that-be felt like a change, or recognized the need to update aging facilities, or whether the increasing student population needed more buildings in which to attend classes, I don't profess to know. I do know, however, that while this is not the same campus setting I fell in love with April of my senior year in high school, I have gradually fallen deeper in love with the way things have become.

All these changes make me wonder what the university will look like for the class of 2050. Will O'Connor be replaced with a fancy new facility? Will Kenna be the building students consider "old" and "out-dated?" Surely the Mission will still be there, but what else? Hopefully the powers-that-be of 2050 will be like-minded to today's and give students the sparkling yet often overlooked changes that we have today.
