I wish….

Posted by Peer Jack Mentors on March 26, 2018

I wish that I knew about group fitness!

One of the biggest fears I have heard about your first year in college is the infamous freshman 15.

Fun Fact Friday!

Posted by Peer Jack Mentors on March 6, 2018

Fun Fact Friday…

So, it may not seem like it this year, but did you know that Flagstaff averages 108 inches of snow per year! That’s 9ft! 274.32 centimeters or 3 yards of snow. 

Brrr. That’s a lot of snow! Especially for those who haven’t experienced it before. So, stay bundled up and warm for when that shows up!
