JSC faculty and staff took a break from their preparations for the new semester to whoop it up on the Quad on Thursday afternoon, August 16. Barbecue, skillet toss, volley ball, and other games, not to mention the gorgeous weather, made this a great day to catch up with each other and get excited for the new academic year!
