'TO BE'
FINDING YOUR EYE IN THE STORM

In 2009, what's become known as The Great Recession was a time of introspection for Lenny Koupal, communications coordinator for the Centennial Student Union. As the nation remains in the grips of COVID-19, the stay-at-home experience seems like deja vu and perhaps a time for rediscovery.

BUILT FOR COMFORT NOT FOR SPEED

'LIFE AS A MAVERICK FRESHMAN'
|
Remember when you first stepped on to campus. There was a lot to navigate in your first days as a new Maverick...wearing your MavCARD lanyard like it was your newest piece of jewelry, trying to figure stuff - from the bus routes to the washing machine. And just trying to make friends and fit in. We all went through it and we can look back and laugh.
