Cope, a third-generation Bruce Lee student, practices this version of martial arts to keep his “skill sharp, create agility, and form structure,” so he will be prepared for any situation in a fight.

Everyone has a story. In recognition of this, The Collegian photo desk has worked to diversify the stories being told in our community and celebrate individuals and their stories through the Fort Collins Focus.

Fort Collins Focus photos are typically found on the second page of print editions of The Collegian, but this gallery has compiled all the stories told during the first semester of the 2020-21 school year.

The Collegian Photo Director Anna von Pechmann and Photo Editor Lucy Morantz are excited to be able to share these stories told by The Collegian photo desk with the rest of our community.

About the Contributor

Lucy Morantz, Co-Photo Director

Lucy Morantz is a fourth-year journalism and political science student minoring in legal studies. She is one of the two photo directors for the fall 2022 semester. Growing up with parents who met working as journalists, media has been an ever-present component of Morantz’s life, and this is ultimately what inspired her to pursue a degree and career in journalism. She had always been pulled toward career paths that provided a creative outlet; photojournalism and The Collegian have allowed her to do precisely that while simultaneously fostering her passions and gaining meaningful career experience. Throughout her college years, Morantz has worked with The Collegian every year. Growing up with the publication this way has given her a unique perspective on all the ways student media has helped students achieve their post-graduation goals, making her excited to see what her own career path with lead to. Additionally, the opportunity to collaborate with so many other student journalists to create a final product will be her most valued takeaway from her time at Colorado State University. Beyond her role at The Collegian, Morantz is also a College of Liberal Arts student ambassador and has interned with various political organizations. Outside the newsroom and classroom, Morantz can most likely be found paddle boarding at Horsetooth Reservoir, strolling through Old Town with friends or curating a new hyper-specific playlist to match her many moods.
