March 21

Pi Day was awesome. Thanks to all who helped make the day a success, especially Bob Raymond and the Culture Committee. Seizing little opportunities like PI Day and using them to build culture, to make connections with academics and student lives, and to just have fun by mixing things up are hugely important events that cumulatively help make students more successful at PA and ultimately in life. The little things (which sometimes take a lot of work) really do matter.
