Fried Friday: Smile Just Because You Can
Sitka is certainly fried this week, but not in a lighthearted, fun way.

Fried Friday: National “Love Your Pet Day!” Really??

In honor of this important day, we’ve unearthed a few pet videos for you (thank you Nicole and Tina). I had to try pretty hard to tie this post to education even very loosely. Faculty …
