Well it has been a while since I gave you an update from campus. But not that much has been going on considering that we just got back from Spring Break not that long ago. The biggest news of the last few weeks is that the Lady's Basketball team won the National Championship while we were on break! That is their 3rd national championship in the last 5 years, and their 1st since I have been in college.
The other big thing that is going on around here is the continual construction on our new Commons building. The foundation looks as if it has been laid, but we have yet to see the walls go up. Their deadline is the end of the year, and the projection is that we will be able to be in it sometime during the Fall semester. It is huge! And there are lots of rumors going around as to what exactly will be inside. Needless to say, students are looking forward to having another commons on campus. It is hard to have the whole student body using only 1 commons when we used to have 3. But this new one will make up for all of that when it is built. And its completion will complete the construction from the tornado. It is the last building that needs to be finished.
The latest construction news concerns the new pharmacy building. There is now a sign beside Jennings Hall that shows the new building. They are supposed to break ground on the new building later this month, and they are expecting it to be completed during the summer of 2010, opening Fall 2010. The pharmacy program just began this past year, and now they are going to have a building in about a year. It is an exciting time for that program.
As the Spring 2009 semester begins to draw to a close, we will all be heading to fill out our schedules for the fall semester really soon. After Easter, decisions will be made for the new school year, my last school year at Union. We still have 5 more weeks of classes, plus a week of finals to go, but the spring semester will be over before we know it.
