Classes are back in person and students are finally roaming the campus again. This return to in-person activities means that we can finally go back to dry humping each other in hot, dimly lit, poorly cleaned, musty frat basements again.
This semester is the first since Spring of 2020 to place the most emphasis on in-person classes, with hybrid classes being in the minority in most schedules. CSU officials announced on August 11 that students must be fully vaccinated and wear masks on campus to attend CSU.
In the same newsletter, CSU officials advised students to submit their vaccine status or declare an exemption by August 18. They warned that unvaccinated individuals will be required to undergo mandatory, twice-weekly testing – including those that declared an exemption.

The housing crisis is not new in America, but in Colorado, it has reached a new level that is impossible to ignore. Let’s look at the data to understand the magnitude of homelessness in Colorado.

The Hughes Land Back initiative is an alliance of Indigenous locals determined to regain stewardship of the land that used to be Hughes Stadium, currently owned by Colorado State University.
On August 6, members of the initiative delivered their requests at a meeting for the Board of Governors of the CSU System. In a statement released by the CSU System, the Board declined to meet the initiative’s requests, describing the proposal as “inconsistent with the Board’s duties.”

Eco-anxiety is real, and we are feeling it now more than ever. Every day, our timelines are flooded with news about the ongoing climate crisis. It’s not hard to see that we are dealing with a very real problem — one that needs to be carefully addressed to ensure life as we know it can continue.Â
