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

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

Charlotte Seymour April 30, 2025
When you think of the college experience, you typically think of someone fresh out of high school, leaving their hometown, living in the dorms with a random roommate, trying to navigate campus life. But you don't need these things to have a great college experience.

Picture this: the buzzer just sounded for the University of Maryland v. Colorado State University March Madness game. Camera angles zoom in on CSU players snot-nosed, teary eyed, violently group-hugging in an intensely boy manner — mostly dap-ups lost within a symphony of “bro’s” and other love confessions.

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.

Hana Pavelko April 15, 2025
Popular dancing shows often introduce the general population to new dancing styles like the cha-cha, paso doble, Viennese waltz and Charleston. These are only some of the many styles of dance there are in the world, and in recent years, I have seen firsthand the increase in popularity of a different dance style: country dancing.
