Dear Student Life team, 

Happy High Five Friday! 

High Five to Jon Plante who dug deep into the computer archives to find a deleted article from many years ago that had information needed now.  

Our Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service saw the highest number of student participants in quite a few years. High Fives to Leadership and Community Engagement’s Kelsea Brown, Meagen Rinard and Emma Speyer for leading the effort, and High Fives to those who helped on Monday including Jayden Messer, Julie Schnell, Ryan Lovell, Kristen Rupert Davis, Kathy Krajnak, Mercedes Wallace and Aliya Beavers.

Teri Cugliari gets a High Five for her outstanding work on the Business Continuity Plans. 

High Five to Dave DeAngelo whose quick thinking and sense of care resulted in getting medical attention for a campus community member Tuesday evening.

Have a Scarlet and Great weekend, and, you know I mean it—Go Bucks!
