The Grand Canyon University Lopes have a lot going on. There are basketball games to attend, free t-shirts to stand in line for, and construction zones to dodge. But still, during a busy day of Chick-Fil-A milkshakes and Lope Shop sales, there are some questions that the students at GCU would like answered.
1. Where are we on another Chick-Fil-A location?
2. Can we start a "public safety officer of the month" award?
3. If Sunday is a day of rest, then why is homework due then?
