Blue is "Growth." I'm not the same person I was my senior year in high school. I won't be the same person my senior year or in seven years when I’m a teacher.

Blue is "Pride." It’s not only having pride in our university, but also pride in yourself. You can do whatever you want when you put your mind to it. This is your school, your home - you just want the best for your university and your peers.Kayli -
Blue is "Future." If you want to get your future going, all the resources are here and completely possible. We have the Career Fair to help you with internships, and the Career Center can help you make connections with future employers. It’s up to you.Ben -
