🌪️ Tech Personas, Exposed Together 🌪️

G-Body 2 felt like a reunion with a purpose.

CIS 142 was full of laughter, call-outs, and the kind of jokes you only get when you’re comfortable being honest with your people. We roasted the archetypes, crowned a few legends, and still left feeling seen, supported, and inspired. 😭⚙️

A special moment: we introduced our new Freshman Reps welcome to the family. Your energy and leadership lit up the room and reminded us why we do this.

What stood out most wasn’t the games or the crowns it was the feeling of showing up for each other. Different years, majors, and paths, but the same community: building, laughing, and making space for everyone to belong.

On to the next one. Bring your friends, your appetite, and your most unserious serious self. 💛🖤

🌟 A Strong Start 🌟

Our first G-Body of the year reminded me why this community matters so much. What started as “just a kickoff” turned into an evening that ran way overtime because none of us wanted to leave and that says everything.

We laughed over pop the balloon, ate a lot of sliders and quesadillas, even gave away LEGOs, but more importantly, we built connections: mentors meeting mentees, freshmen meeting upperclassmen, and all of us meeting this year with energy and purpose.

It felt less like an event and more like a family gathering the kind that sets the tone for something bigger. Here’s to carrying that spirit forward all semester 💛🖤
