We have completed the first week as an organization for IST THON and the progress is really refreshing. I hope we don’t lose steam when classes end. But first, I’ll provide some background. After THON this year I was reflecting on how at a IST Student Government meeting Sophomore year, we talked about how we had lost our [...] Well today is the day. I am leaving Tyrone for a few days to head down to Orlando to see Penn State take on LSU in the Capital One Bowl.
