GET A FREE SHOW THE O FLAG!
The O makes its second appearance in Sweden, courtesy of 1971 UNO graduate Mary Hilfiker, who in January visited Kiruna's Ice Hotel — 3 degrees and 200 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle. "We enjoyed northern lights, Greenland-style dog sledding and, best of all, racing alone through the semi-darkness on a traditional sled through the taiga forest. UNO, with a degree in school counseling, allowed me to appreciate the sheer joy of travel and the wonderful people you meet through your life adventure."
