Multiple news outlets are reporting that former Apple CEO and co-founder Steve Jobs has died due to health complications. Apple’s Statement: “Steve’s brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives,” the company said. “The world is immeasurably better because of Steve. Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be at Apple.” Jobs stepped down from an executive role at Apple in August because he said that he could no longer fulfill his duties as the company’s CEO. He instead became chairman of the company. It is not often that a company so successful is controlled by one person. That person was Steve Jobs. Many of you are probably reading this on your iPhones, your iPads, your MacBooks or some other device that Steve Jobs had a hand in creating. He made a huge impact.

After the 90-day renovation, many returning students were stunned to open the doors of Fanning to see a complete transformation.

Before the renovation, minor repairs and patching were made to the women’s dormitory. After this summer, those issues have finally been completely addressed. Now, residents can be sure that they will be cool in the warm months and warm in the cool months. It’s these types of changes that mean the most to the returning students. Jarathzy Lendos, a sophomore nursing major from Honduras, says that her showers have improved immensely in contrast to last year. “Now I do not have to worry about the water scalding my head when I take a shower,” she said. As one can only imagine, the living conditions of the 61-year-old building were dangerous and outdated for anyone living there today. “Fanning was old, run down, and old lady-like because everything was sagging and falling off the walls,” Lendos said. However, now, it is just the opposite. “I was always convinced that with a little bit of help you could make Fanning a concentration camp or prison just by the way it looked,” said...
