A Word From the SA President

Hey Union Students!

It is my hope that everyone is starting to settle into their routine after these first few weeks of school. I know I was both excited and nervous to come back to school while also living through a pandemic. I‘d have laughed if you’d told me a few months ago that I’d be accessorizing with a face mask, but after a while I’ve started to forget to take it off in my own room! And think of all the perks…. morning breath and concerns about food in my teeth are a thing of the past, and I’m totally saving money on lip gloss. 

The health checks seemed a little over the top at first but now I count it as a blessing. Every morning it’s a given that I’ll pass at least one test, so hey, I’ll take that boost to the ego any day. 

All joking aside, this school year is going to be a lot different than anything we’ve seen before. I have confidence that as a school we will be able to create memories together while staying safe and healthy. COVID-19 may shape our future, but it won’t determine our destiny. We are resilient and resourceful, determined to let our light shine brightly, despite the challenges we’re facing. 

Your Student Association is working hard to plan some really special events for you this year and we have some super fun things in store. You won’t want to miss out. I hope to see all your faces around campus (well, at least your eyes). Just know that I’m smiling right back, even if you can’t see it! We’ll get through this together. I promise.
