While Student Government presidential candidates battled over topics like Greek life and funding for clubs, freshmen William Tift and Tyler Hanson — though not officially on the ballot — offered an alternative campaign platform.

Business students can expect a new home for their college on the 2.5-acre site occupied by the Piano Man building by fall 2015. Funding for the three-story, 66,000-square-foot building — unofficially priced at $25 million — has yet to be secured, but interim Regional Chancellor Bill Hogarth has plans to break ground this year.
