If you spot someone stopping to feed the squirrels on campus, chances are good that you’re looking at this week’s campus cutie, U-Jin Lee! This animal lover can be found in Eick picking out snacks to feed her hamster, or in the music building practicing violin (did we mention she played at Juliard?!).
