On Aug. 22, there was a fire alarm in B building. As the newspaper office is located in B building (B-317, stop in any time!), I of course, evacuated with everyone else. Not knowing what was going on, only that there was a fire, I followed the crowd hoping the person in the lead knew where he was going. As... Read more »

Over the past two years at IVCC, I have learned a lot and I know I have changed a lot. People who knew me in high school don’t recognize me now.
