Students can often feel stuck in the same routine in terms of where they complete their homework. Whether that be in one of the usual spots like the campus libraries, common eating areas, dorms, or even at one of the many tables located outside, sometimes finding a new place to do homework with refreshing scenery can be a huge help to both productivity and overall enjoyment.

We are STRONG: Living with Chronic Illness in College
January 11, 2020
I have been living with chronic illness my entire life. I received my first diagnosis at age 9 and have picked up several others along the way. I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). This means my joints are too loose and often dislocate, my skin is fragile to the point of tearing easily, and my heart does not work quite right. I live every second of my life with a level of pain I hope no one else ever has to experience.

Terry Franson, Johnson’s track coach at the time, reflected, “Andre was one of the finest defensive backs in APU football history. I cannot remember him ever getting beat on a deep pass. He recently spoke to our team on courage—he put his life on the line for others when no one else would.”
