Signs of progress were evident this week in the Student Union as the flags were removed from the Social Hall in preparation for the upcoming union renovation project. The flags, a senior gift in 1993 that represents the nationalities of every student in that class, will be repurposed by Student Life at various cultural events, including FOCUS – The Festival of Culture Uniting Students, an annual event at the start of the fall semester.
