With COLS 2025 just days behind us we miss you all already too!!! Thank goodness office hours are starting back up so we don’t need to be apart 😇

Come out for a chat on any given Sunday and talk to alumni committee members, co-chairs, members of the SPC, other past staff who are free on a Sunday, and mooooooore about upcoming events, staff apps, staying involved, etc!!
Or just stop in for a lil pinch of PMA, we won’t tell anyone 🤫

We love you!! See you Sunday/soon!!!!
