The end of the year is here. I have a lot of weird apprehensions I think. My year has been filled with weird realizations, moments and a list of things I am just 500 percent done with right now. I will be ending my junior year, and it has gone faster than any year here…
SGA recently purchased 14 iPads with the remainder of their 2012-2013 budget. But why, I ask, do the members of SGA need iPads? In the recent article in The Concordian, their reasoning was explained as “an effort to go green.” With the use of iPads, there wouldn’t be a need to use as much paper…
Senior Hannah Johnson recently partnered with Tracy Briggs, host of “The Great Indoors,” for a cooking show on the InForum website. Johnson’s interest in cooking and baking began as a way to spend time with her grandma Sonja. This interest has turned into a passion that was the inspiration for creating the “Cobber Cooking Show”…
SGA has put sustainability as one of the issues at the forefront of its platform for the upcoming year by stressing sustainability during elections and with the creation of a new position on their team, the Sustainability Commissioner.

Many Cobbers stay in the area for those fleeting months, enjoying the area’s activities and staying in shape. Taylor Thompsen,…
The Secular Student Community is now an officially recognized Concordia student organization. “The group is inclusive and not just meant for secular folks,” senior religion and biology major Kristi Del Vecchio, the group’s publicist, said. “We hope to be a support system, but also (want to talk) about what it means to live a good…
To put it quite simply, this is a thank you letter to the entire college from the Secular Student Community. Without the overwhelming support throughout these past few months, we wouldn’t be where we are now. As a group, we are so grateful for the opportunity to be an organization on campus. When we first…
As I write my final edition of this column, there are a couple of points that I’d be remiss if I didn’t make. For those of you who stuck through with this column until the end, I give you my undying appreciation and thanks. While I may spend much of my day hopping back and…
