Musician Greg Wood performs as part of the Coffee House Series this Wednesday, Mar. 24, at 8:00 p.m. in the Wakehurst Commuter Lounge.

McQuade isn’t alone. According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, political awareness among current college freshmen students rose for the third year in a row making political awareness the highest it has ever been.
