The last full week of classes not only brings us one step closer to winter break, but it also brings us one step closer to final exams. However, before we get into one of the most stressful times of the year, we still have a little time to enjoy the many happenings going on around campus this week. From events to get you into the Christmas spirit to late-night treats, here’s what’s happening this week in Stag country.
