Latoya Long
Sophomore economics major
“Obama did a good job so far and winning the Nobel Peace Prize is a [tremendous] award to receive and I really think there’s good things to come.”
Kane Wear
Junior criminal justice major
“I think it’s a little bit insulting to those who have actually done something to earn it. I think he should probably not accept it.”
