Frontier Fiesta this year was a little different than usual.
In past years, Frontier Fiesta was a week-long affair with carnival rides, competitions, a cook-off and packed concerts. This year, the one thing that did stay the same was a week full of activities.
The event donned a new name, Fiesta Live, and adapted to the circumstances brought by the pandemic with new events like drive-in movies, socially distanced concerts and virtual events.
For Rachel Siba, a psychology freshman, this was her first chance to participate in activities with people in-person since moving on campus at the start of the year.
