From the inside: ‘I survived a State-a-Thon’
It was about five months ago when the ever-bubbly Maggie Aldrich, UPC State-a-Thon coordinator, approached, or rather attacked, me about being involved in a 12-hour dance marathon to help raise money for Children’s Miracle Network.

The act would be very similar to the academic honesty portion of every syllabus. Academic honesty pertains to actions such as cheating, plagiarism, and attending class. Students’ Association Senator Brady Duxbury is one [...]
