KSA SPOTLIGHT:

Jason Paik, Sargent 2015

1. What do you like the most about freshmen year so far and what are you looking forward to during this semester?

I like that I had a chance to meet a wide range of people from across the country. I love KSA because of my awesome bigs (not including Peter Rhim)

&  this semester, I will be starting a new club called The Supply Education Group and I hope that it will grow.

2. If you won $20 million in the lottery, what would you do with the money?

I would give half of it to my parents (awwww…) and sparingly use the remainder for the rest of my life.

3. If you were shrunken into a size of a pencil, and put in a blender, how would you get out?

I would try and tip over the blender with my bulging biceps, and somehow kick the lid out.

Stay Warm! & Keep your eyes out for more KSA event updates!
