Meet the SPA (Student PR Assistants) and Loop.A.S. (Looping Alumni and Students) who are in
charge of writing the student blog!
SPA
SPA covers campus life and academic pursuits from the student perspective. We capture the essence and appeal of APU and bring it to the campus community as well as the wider world.
This Blog hopes to provide information that will help students in their daily campus life and will put the spotlight on active students and faculty members. Each item on this page has been planned and written primarily by members of SPA to provide students with relevant and timely information. We hope that this blog helps you to lead an even more fulfilling student life with a deeper understanding and love of APU.
