Lopez: Have you decided who you’re going to be yet?

Dominique Lopez September 20, 2023
Believe it or not, we are already almost done with five weeks of the fall semester. So the real and most important question is — whether you are a first-year student or a fourth-year student — have you decided what kind of college student you want to be yet?
