These papers were in pristine condition, neatly tucked in individual labeled folders with not a single crease in sight.
Seton Hall is a basketball school through and through, but did you know that they used to have a football program?

“Everything happens for a reason.”
It has been such an honor to be part of the 100th year anniversary of the Setonian as the news editor, especially as it has coincided with my senior year.
