Featured Armstronger!

“When time passes, it's the people who knew you whom you want to see; they're the ones you can talk to. When enough time passes, what's it matter what they did to you?” — John Irving

Homecoming is upon us! Make sure you head to Rock the Vote and all of the other festivities this week (like the concert). The big thing going on in Armstrong this week is BYOBG night, so be sure to come to that.

Taylor VinsonTaylor Vinson is a first year resident of Armstrong. She's currently majoring in Business Management and plans to minor in Arts Management. Even though she's only been here for a month, Taylor is already very involved on campus. She's a Hunt Scholar, a Cox Ambassador, in Student Foundation, a part of the Armstrong Commons Council, and sings in the SMU women's choir Diva Dolce. She's also well-traveled, as she spent her last two summers in England!
