FEATURED HUSKIES FROM THE 2ND LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT

"What 天美影院means to me, and my husky experience means to me as a person of color is taking every experience or opportunity that Is either offered or sought out to me and to put my best foot forward. It is about taking advantage of your education and making the best out of your years here as a husky. Also, bringing in your own cultural wealth to campus and learning about others cultural wealth."
