I am approaching my impending graduation with the sort of aloofness that is probably more appropriate for an impending visit to the DMV. Because I am slated to begin law school this fall, my mind is already wrapped up in basic practical issues related to this important transition in my life and also in figuring…
The end of classes, exams, and (hopefully) cold weather is coming. Summer is near. For many of us, this means days filled with work, internships, and if we’re lucky, a lake day here and there. 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.

Just like other students, we have been looking forward to showcasing our work since we started creating it a few months ago. For our main ceramics project in Art and Environmental…
Graduation is just around the corner, and those of us who are getting ready to leave Concordia are most likely feeling quite nostalgic. I found it hard to express the many little things I will miss about Concordia, so I have compiled a collection of Cobber Moments which I began in sophomore year and have…
North Dakota’s abortion laws have been at the center of controversial debate recently, as three anti-abortion bills were signed into law by Gov. Jack Dalrymple in March, and a 2011 anti-abortion law is currently being challenged in the Cass County District Court. In the face of this law making, some Concordia students and faculty are…
The Student Government Association has purchased 14 iPads in an effort to go green for next school year. The money to purchase the iPads came from what was left SGA’s budget for the 2012-2013 year. Levi Bachmeier, SGA president as of April 1, said that the new executive team was trying to search for good…
