Concordia College’s Offut School of Business is laying the groundwork for an investment club, planned to kick off next fall, that will allow students to invest an initial $100,000 donation in financial securities. “Any time you have a real world experience, it’s so much better than book learning,” said SteveContinue Reading
A furry rodent told us last week to expect at least six more weeks of winter, and though this winter has been a mild season, one can never be too prepared to ward off the cold. When the temperatures drop, students and faculty still tough it out and fight theContinue Reading
