Weishaar: My preconceived notions of college were wrong

Audrey Weishaar May 2, 2025
I cannot believe I have already been a college student for a year. I could have sworn I just got here. Now that I have been through the ringer, I have been thinking about everything the media and my parents told me about college — and how inaccurate these sources were when compared to my actual experience as a first-year.

Seymour: Student experience is stronger when it has no age limit

Charlotte Seymour April 30, 2025

Aigner: From the outside, looking in at American politics

Gideon Aigner April 17, 2025
I was born in Colorado. There aren't many places in the world I’d rather be from, and I’m proud to be an American. Growing up, I sang “America the Beautiful,” performed the national anthem on a recorder in elementary school and even led the Pledge of Allegiance a few times in high school. Today, even though I love my country, I am so scared for her and the vulnerable people within.
