Christian Arndt, Life & Culture Director

Christian Arndt is this year's director for the life and culture desk at The Collegian. Arndt joined The Collegian in the winter of 2023, when he started as an arts and entertainment writer, primarily focusing on movie reviews, local art installations and music-curated lists.

Arndt is the second life and culture director and is proud to step into this position. He is focusing on providing the best local coverage in the Fort Collins area with a focus on unique business profiles, important cultural events and fun local happenings.

Arndt comes from Silverthorne, Colorado, and came to Colorado State University in the fall of 2021. He is a third-year and is majoring in journalism and media communication with a minor in English. He found his passion for writing during his English classes in high school, and eventually with the style he chose to pursue, he ended up finding a passion within journalism. Because he had no prior experience with journalism, he was adamant to join The Collegian and build up his experience and reputation there.

Aside from writing for the paper, you can find him at the cinema, watching basketball, playing video games with friends, walking his adorable dog Penny Lane, snowboarding and listening to plenty of music.

Arndt finds his role as a director thrilling and looks forward to providing the utmost care and consistency with the content that comes out for the life and culture desk.

Holly Wong speaks about her art installation, Guardian of the Spirits, at the Curfman Gallery at Colorado State University April 4. “Some people ask me how I pick colors,” Wong said. “These are complementary colors. They are inspired from Chinese lion dance. You personify the animal. These are a personified, larger-than-life, female force. The colors are energizing and boundless. I’m interested in getting beyond gender.”

Josiah Martinez of Denver-based band Immigrants Child speaks about the state of the Colorado music scene during an interview on KCSU Radio in the Lory Student Center March 5. I think there is just a huge sentiment for a lot of people wanting the Denver music scene, or the Colorado music scene in general, to expand from where it is, Martinez said. I do think were on that cusp of it potentially getting to that next level, but it is just a lot of DIY stuff. It is being propped up by a lot of grassroots-type organizations.
