SOAR and Singing? Sounds Good to Me!
Friday, July 22nd, 2011Another week, another SOAR. This past Wednesday, Lewis hosted yet another Transfer Student Orientation. The group met in the Sancta Alberta Chapel, and the event provided various information sessions for Transfer students.

Friday, July 8th, 2011Well, here we go again! It’s Wednesday night, and in the morning, we (the OGLs) have yet another First Year SOAR to put on!

I moved into summer housing with both familiar faces and some not so familiar ones, and I have now begun training for my summer OGL (Orientation Group Leader) job. Oh, [...]
