Pi Store is a student-run snack bar right here on campus. Every night after study hours, the Pi Store is open for students to come and stock up on late night snacks. SGA representatives take turns running Pi Store. This allows SGA representatives to learn basic business skills while providing a convenient service for their fellow students. As SGA Sergeant at Arms, I coordinate the operations of Pi Store. I decide what snacks to buy based on what is selling out quickly and decide on a fair price for the items all while trying to make a profit! Sometimes it can be a lot of work, but it is all worth it to know that we are making a positive impact on the lives of our peers.
Students -- Next time you are hungry, stop by at 9 p.m. and experience what Dinali calls, βThe Party in Pi Store!β

Featuring some fun in Honors Biology last week -- even during virtual learning! Each student was assigned a different eukaryotic organelle, and then they were tasked with creating a campaign ad for that organelle in our Cellular Presidential Elections. The campaigning was arduous and sometimes a little underhanded which resulted in a tight race between the Peroxisome (by Peyton Dimson) and the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (by Hakeem Menifee). But through it all the Smooth ER was victorious!
From the acceptance speech of the Smooth ER: "As your cell city president, I assure you that I have not forgotten my roots. If not for all of you, I would not be here, and neither would the cell. I promise to follow through on my promises and bring peace and happiness to cell city. Today is a time to celebrate my fellow citizens."
