It’s another great day here at Southern Virginia University. Forum has just finished up, and students are flowing out of the Stoddard Center. Everyone had their best Friday fits on, both the students and staff. After everyone was flowing out of the Stoddard Center, myself, Abby Hansen, and Natasha LeNeave stood still and watched for anyone passing by with interesting attire. We found a couple of students and the Director of Services and Accessibilities with their Friday fit on. Read below to get all the details!
