The first snowfall of the season during my freshman year in the dorms brought several inches of snow. That evening, everyone ended up wandering out of their living centers and a giant snowball fight broke out around Kleiner and lasted for hours.

My capstone class with Professor Bulson was such a great class to culminate my experience in health communications. He was very knowledgeable and an overall great professor to have before graduation.
