POV: It’s officially the middle of the semester.

You’re somewhere between “I’ve totally got this” and “Wait…what’s due when?” 😂

Keep going, Rattlers. You’re doing great! 🖤💚

🎨☕ A little creativity, a lot of personality!

SWCD dorm students recently got creative at a Mug Art Painting Party, hosted by our awesome RAs! From colorful designs to totally unique creations, every mug was as individual as the student who painted it. 💚

We love seeing our students come together, try something new, and have a little fun along the way!

Check out the video to see all the creative designs! 👀🎨 Great job, Rattlers!
