Producers from MTV's hit show, "MADE," held casting auditions for the show Monday, March 5, in CIS 3115. The audition schedule will continue through March 6, from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the same location.
Despite a by-appointment organization, many aspiring students failed to show up to the casting, moving the producers to accept walk-ins from any student who believes they have what it takes to get "made."
Countless timeslots are still available for the casting. Students can sign up at CIS 3090, on a sheet on Professor Kristen Arnold's door.

When the doors finally opened and Legend took the stage, he focused 30 minutes of his presentation on education inequality and how to fix it. “Many of you overcame significant obstacles to get here today,” he said. “I think you know why you’re here: because you know it’s going… Read more...
