I’ve been sitting in front of my computer thinking of what The Collegian has meant to me throughout my college career and the same unavoidable answer keeps coming to mind: The Collegian has been my most significant relationship.

I first joined The Collegian in Oct. 2020, the first semester back after COVID-19 shut everything down, after hearing about Rocky Mountain Student Media through my news writing class in March 2020.

The Collegian put me in touch with people I'd never know otherwise and taught me valuable lessons about journalism, AP Style and sourcing. Goodbye, Collegian!
