This winter and spring the Concordia sponsored program F/M Communiversity plans to offer 29 college-like classes without homework or tests to community members. People of all ages and backgrounds can attend. F/M Communiversity, which combines the words community and university, started in 1965 when Rev. Loren Halvorson from the American Lutheran Church wrote a paper…
Let’s face it: we’re all busy. Countless research studies have shown that today’s students are more involved than ever. While the amount of classes and extracurricular activities have increased, the number of hours in a day has not. Although our days may seem longer, in fact it’s just the amount of things that we try…
With three main stage acts to her name, senior Vanessa Liming finds her fourth and final stage show both exciting and challenging. Not only does she play Roxane, the female lead, she also plays multiple characters that are male. Starting on Valentine’s Day through Feb. 19, Concordia’s Theatre will be presenting an adaptation of “Cyrano”…
The Student Government Association elections are next week. Since Monday, when campaigning officially commenced, students have been bombarded with Facebook page “like” requests, campus mail flyers (that will very quickly end up in the trash), and the visual displeasure of tacky and unnecessary advertising plastered throughout campus buildings. For the candidates, this is their time…
When Tansy Wells sat in Jones 212 for her first science class at Concordia, Evolution and Diversity, she looked around at the 50 other students in her class. She chose Concordia because of its smaller classes and student-to-faculty ratio, but a packed lecture hall was not what she anticipated. “I was definitely overwhelmed,” said Wells,…
Average Concordia College students might wonder what’s on today’s Maize menu, how late the library stays open on Sunday or where they can travel for cheap over spring break. Fewer students contemplate who hires professors, where their scholarship money comes from or how it was decided that Sociology 201 should be held in Old Main…
An unknown male entered an off-campus residence across the street from Concordia College early Thursday morning. The intruder has not been identified, but an investigation is still underway, said Lt. Tory Jacobson, public information officer for the Moorhead Police Department. Bill MacDonald, public safety officer for Concordia, said the police are trying to come up…
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 Steve Scheel, CEO of Scheel’s Sporting…
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 the elements, whether they are rain,…
Concordia is known for its bubble, an invisible shield that guards the campus from Dragons and bad news. I would like to propose a different definition for the bubble – community. After hours of conversation with reporters and editors from small-town publications at a recent newspaper conference, I am convinced this campus is as much…
