<h1>A Walk with Senator McMaster</h1>In 2014, a statue of Senator William McMaster was placed on campus outside of University Hall. He has become an important facet of our campus landscape, becoming a prime spot to relax and take a selfie. <strong>The Senator has grown weary of sitting and watching campus life happen around him.</strong> Go on a walk with the Senator to show off the campus we have built together.
<span style="color:#7A003C;">We suggest you turn your volume up to experience the adventure to its fullest.</span> As you go along, keep your eyes peeled for a pair of <span style="color:#7A003C;">funky socks</span>. If you find them, you might be in for a surprise.
