Gallery: Students spend snowy day on campus before semester begins

January 10, 2021 by Riley Fisher and David Mitchell

Several inches of snow brought students outside to build snowmen, sled and spend time together Sunday despite frigid temperatures. Continued freezing temperatures caused ACUPD to cancel all synchronous classes and pledging activities on Monday.
