Many thanks to PR student photographer Matt Coppadge for braving the elements to get some campus shots of the great Feb 24 snow storm. Classes were canceled with forecasts of 12-20 inches (which we haven’t seen as of 3 p.m.) Matt got some nice shots of our International Walkway, the student mall, and a band of students probably heading for Manser.
Matt didn’t mind the weather as much as he minded being separated from his new Mac Book that arrived yesterday.
