After selling out the first week, Lambda Pi Eta, the National Communication Honor Society, is continuing its cookie sale all this week, March 27-31, in the Andrew Bouwhuis Library. Cookies are $2 each and all proceeds benefit the Lt. Aaron Salter Memorial Scholarship Fund. You may also make a donation to the scholarship fund by stopping by.
Lt. Aaron Salter was a hero. He served 30 years in the Buffalo Police Department before retiring in 2018. He continued to protect the community as a security guard at the Tops Market on Jefferson Avenue. Lt. Salter was one of 10 people killed in the mass shooting in May. He was awarded a degree in communication studies, posthumously, at the 2022 commencement ceremony.
Students in Lambda Pi Eta chose to honor Lt. Salter by raising money to donate to the scholarship fund in his name. Scholarships are awarded to high school seniors from financially disadvantaged families to help ensure that they succeed as matriculated college students.

The Golden Griffins ice hockey season came to a close in Fargo, ND, last night when No. 1 Minnesota scored eight unanswered goals to erase a 2-1 deficit and defeat Canisius, 9-2, in the NCAA Division I Men’s Ice Hockey Championship regional semifinal contest. Though the loss was tough it doesn’t overshadow the outstanding effort made by the team and Head Coach Trevor Large throughout the entire season: The Ice Griffs finish with a winning percentage of .500 or higher for the fourth time in six season under Coach Large. The Griffs also recorded 20 wins in a season for the third time in the Division I era of the program, and the first time since 2016-17.
