SPARK 2024 EXPERIENCE:
Overall, SPARK 2024 was amazing! Meeting new students, making memories and glamming up was the highlight of my experience! There were also lots of food trucks, where they served ice cream, wings, funnel cakes, and more. The glam station also gave an opportunity for students to add charms to their nails and take pictures at the photo booth. Here are some pictures to continue the FOMO mood ;)
