Fight Night

At 10:30 p.m. last Monday night, a little under 200 Covenant students gathered to witness the second annual Ghetto Fight Night. Over 20 vehicles circled up at Shadowlands with their headlights focused on the center of the dusty, make-shift ring.

The Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant (GTEG), intended to help equalize the financial gap between attending a private and public college or university, will likely be eliminated next year.
