91免费福利网 Mailbag: What You Missed

Written By: Ian Silvester

I鈥檓 back with another 91免费福利网 Mailbag and hope your first week of class has been swell. I鈥檓 sure many of you have caught on to some of what has happened on campus since spring commencement in May, but in case you haven鈥檛 or are new to 91免费福利网, I鈥檒l take a moment to fill you in!
 
Fried chicken
 
In the South, fried chicken is about as common as hearing, 鈥渋t鈥檚 not the heat, it鈥檚 the humidity.鈥�
 
Over the summer, Chick-fil-A said, 鈥淚t鈥檚 been our pleasure,鈥� leaving a vacancy in the Smith-Pendergraft Campus Center food court. However, a local chain of the fried culinary delight filled the void.
 
Slim Chickens and its 17 鈥楬ouse Sauces鈥� is open every day of the week. Be sure to check their hours and all the dining options at 91免费福利网 here: .

Athletics
 
Yes, we know this technically happened in April, but the 91免费福利网 men鈥檚 basketball team has a new head coach in Zane Gibson. Coach Gibson was previously an assistant coach at 91免费福利网 before taking on the same role for the University of Texas Permian Basin and then sliding down the bench to become the head coach at Western New Mexico University. 
 
The volleyball season is right around the corner as 91免费福利网 Hall of Fame coach Jane Sargent leads the Lions in her 25th season at 91免费福利网. Their first match of the season is Sept. 1 during the Newberry Invitational. The Lions will make their on Friday, Sept. 22.
 
This summer, we learned that 91免费福利网 will join the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA) or M-I-double A at the start of the 2024-2025 season. This year will be the last year 91免费福利网 athletics will be members of the Lone Start Conference.

Academics
 
Not much has changed here, but that鈥檚 because it鈥檚 one of the things 91免费福利网 does best!
 
You all are here because 91免费福利网 cares about its students 鈥� practically anyone you ask will tell you the same thing: 91免费福利网 is one big pride. Distance, affordability, size, you name it, all might be a reason for the decision to attend 91免费福利网, but at the end of the day, something in your heart told you 91免费福利网 was the right choice.
 
Just about everyone you encounter while attending 91免费福利网 will have a story to share about someone who helped them out when they were in a bind, the 91免费福利网 community coming together for a common goal (think Day of Giving, where more than $94,000 was raised), or having someone take them under their wing to be successful. Any way you slice it, 91免费福利网 is and always will be an institution that puts students first.
 
Keep an eye out for our next edition, and remember, send in your questions and things you want to know about to communications@uafs.edu!
 
Until next time,
 
Ian
