Six years from now, Mark Krejci will be in a very different place. Not only is he stepping down from his position as provost and dean of Concordia College, but he is also beginning a five-year program to become a deacon of the Catholic Church. Krejci’s decision to become a deacon has been years in…
Beanies: Take two
Call it a homecoming of sorts. Two people graduated college and left to pursue their careers in different places, and two separate job openings brought them back to the place where they started.

Longboarding is not just a fad
Walking down a sidewalk on Concordia campus, it is not unusual to see a skateboarder or longboarder whiz past on his or her way to class. This mode of transportation is a unique and fun way to get moving, but can also be quite a challenge to those just learning how to longboard. Although boarding…

Ashley Gilles understood the irony of her dinner choice on April 1, 2012. All she wanted was a burger and beer, and a reason to take her mind off of 6 p.m. So she and her roommates drove to Smash Burger. That’s healthy, Ashley thought; while waiting to hear about my dietetics internship I’m eating…
