This year, the UA went Mars-crazy

by

Unless you've been asleep this past year, you know the UA is leading a mission to Mars.

Even if you were not a science junkie, it'd be hard to miss the tidal wave of Mars-themed events and changes all over the university this year.

Tributes in the Student Union Memorial Center included the dedication of the Alumni Study Lounge to the Mars Lander, featuring large-scale images of Mars from the UA's HiRISE camera.
