Homecoming brings together generations of alumni and current students for a busy week of events and celebration. It is a celebration of a shared cobber-ness and the love of community that Concordia brings to the Fargo Moorhead area. This year, homecoming greets Concordia’s campus on Monday, Sept. 24 and extends through Sunday, Sept. 30. Students,…
Volleyball has high hopes for successful season finish
With fall in the air and the leaves starting to fall, the Cobber women’s volleyball season is officially underway. Led by head coach Tim Mosser, the young team looks to grow in conference play and find themselves in the playoffs come November.

O’Shurak leads women’s soccer
Nine games into the Rebecca O’Shurak era and the Cobber women’s soccer team is rolling.

Female representation missing
With women’s empowerment fresh off the agenda from Symposium this week, it feels only fitting to make a plug for the lack of female representation around campus – in sculpture and bust form, that is. As of now, (and I could be missing a tiny hidden statue somewhere in Park Region), there are absolutely none….

Lost in the jungle of Dining Services
Look at you! Your roommate went home this weekend to break up with their not-so-sweetheart-anymore and they left you alone in your room with three boxes of Triscuits and a box of Perfect Size for One microwaveable muffin-in-a-mugs.

Ross’s Reasons: Week 3
It’s only week three, but it feels like I’ve already lived this NFL season for forty lifetimes. Twenty of those were during last week’s Vikings game (Oh, we’ll get there). It’s important to not overreact to anything that happens in the first few weeks of the season. Teams are still adjusting to offseason changes, players…
