From California to a new Normal
When you think of California, you think of blazing sunshine, clear blue skies and beautiful people - the perfect place to relax and have fun. You would ask yourself why would anyone want to move from a perfect state? ISU rarely get a student from the west coast, but this fall… from 2,139 miles away… ISU accepted a student from Pasadena California.

Down-to-earth pastor heads up mega church
Visiting on an average Sunday, one cannot help to be impressed by the magnitude of the Eastview Christian Church. Situated at the intersection of Airport and Raab, the church and grounds encompass nearly 100 acres and manages an average weekly attendance of around 4,500. Though some might find a church of this size to be intimidating, the accessibility and hospitable atmosphere still manage to stimulate steady growth. At least some of the credit for this atmosphere has to go to Pastor Mike Baker.

Jury duty experience not quite like television depictions
The courtroom was freezing and the lights were bright., which caused the atmosphere to borderline on discomfort. With every little movement the chair I sat in gave a tiny squeak that cut through the silence of the room. Watching the attorney’s of the two involved parties battle of words made me feel like I was watching “Law and Order.” But this wasn’t television. I, like many U.S. citizens, had to endure the task of jury duty.
