“Hi my name is LaJuan and I work for Resident Life at Widener University. Last year, I was the resident assistant at Turrell Hall, where I ordered Just Pizza for my residents. That night we were supposed to have a game night, but we turned it into a sports night and ended up watching basketball and baseball! They stated that it was the best pizza they ever had!”
