As students camp out for the next two weeks (tickets go on sale on September 15th at 11:30 PM), they will be graced with the presence of a brand-new LED countdown which counts the days, hours, minutes, seconds, and even hundredths of seconds until the first tickets will be sold. The sign was handmade by the Web Technologies Group of the Student Senate.
Kudos, webtech. This RPI tradition is one of the ones near to our hearts. Let’s keep it alive and fun!
Hey, so let’s say that you were up for some award. Hypothetically speaking. And other people could help you get it, just by going to a website and clicking twice or by sending a simple text. Wouldn’t you want people to do that?
Well, this is the position that RPI Men’s Hockey goalie Mathais Lange finds himself in. He is a contender vying for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award which recognizes NCAA athletes who have exceptional character, excel in the classroom and the community, and bring a sense of competition to the sport.
