As every year upholds Saint Leo University has once again seen a new wave of dress style. Every year students try their own personal flair to begin the year off right. However, as midterms and finals show up, it is seen that students turn to their beloved sweatpants in their last hope of comfort before the big test.

Just this semester, Saint Leo University was introduced to the first Honors Student Council, formulated in the most part by Honors student Brittany Rathbone for her senior project. Rathbone, who is now the President and Treasurer of the council, has been involved in the Honors program since her freshman year here at Saint Leo. However, it wasn’t until the program’s ownership switched hands, prior to her senior year, when she became actively involved in establishing the “sequentially integrated program” in an attempt to add structure for real change, all with a passion for the council to flourish.
