I am more than half way through my online MBA program at SLU and I must admit I love the program. Before deciding to obtain an MBA, I did a lot of research, visited universities, and even read books such as; Ahead of the Curve: Two Years at Harvard Business School, by Philip Delves Broughton. I originally decided to obtain my MBA from SLU mainly because of the accreditation, the convenience of visiting the professors since I live close to campus, and the flexibility the online program offers.

Everyone walks to and from places on campus and is affected by commuters. Everyone has to deal with noisy surroundings while trying to focus.

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. This year has spared no shock value and as we expand our range of students, so does the sense of style expand to trends that some eyes thought they would never see. This year, however, has been somewhat of a turnaround as students started the year off in their comfortable old sweatpants.

Saint Leo cheerleaders are going to compete this coming year, from March 31 to April 1 in Spirit Cheer’s: All American Nationals in the all girls’ non-tumbling division. This competition is a two day competition at the Peabody Hotel in Orlando, Florida involving many other competitive cheerleading teams.
