Colors of Fall

The sights and sounds of fall in the Pacific Northwest are undeniable. As the seasons change and we approach the end of the semester, students trade sunny days on the quad for foggy mornings, hot drinks and holiday celebrations.

I can鈥檛 say exactly where these expectations come from. If I had to guess, I鈥檇 say they come from a little Mason jar inside your heart, where you鈥檝e come to store all the ideas, plans and dreams you鈥檝e developed over the years. By the time you first set foot on campus, the Mason jar is overflowing with excitement.
