College is for most, a memorable experience. Students meet new people, prepare for the future and usually gain 15 to 20 pounds.
However, for most, the Freshman 15 isn’t all that’s being gained.
According to the Huffington Post, college debt is on the rise. The average student in 2012 graduated with a degree and $29, 400 in student debt. This amount has increased in less than a decade, with students in 2004 owing only an average of $18, 750.

Moss said she feels connected to MUW in more ways than one. For her, MUW is like home, so being named the Director of Admissions was an incredible honor.

With an array of programs benefitting the community, it’s no wonder Sen. Roger Wicker, whom the building is named after, along with MUW President Dr. Jim Borsig, visited and praised the accomplishments of the center last week.
