The director of Dining Services for the past 24 and a half years, Debra Lee Ross, is retiring this coming January. During her time at Concordia, Lee Ross’ main goal as the director of Dining Services has been to create a positive work environment for everyone involved.

Dear Editor, It has recently come to my attention that your editorial staff, upon being presented with a story about alcohol consumption on our campus, deemed the story not only fit to print, but fit for the front page. What were you thinking? The story — although highly relevant to Concordia students, and, on the…
