I typically try to refrain from writing editorials in first person, but this week I was reminded of some sage advice I received earlier this year and it seemed most appropriate to impart it personally. More on that in a second. If you’re like me, mid-sem is one of at least two (let’s…

Desk Workers Unite!
I want all of you out there to know about me, and this week I want to talk about being a desk worker in the happiest place on earth, Livedalen. I love my job as a desk worker and could not ask for anything more than being able to do homework while getting to talk…
Swing Dance Club Offers a Unique Tri-College Experience
The Centrum came alive Sept. 30 with big band music blaring and students showing off their swing dancing moves.

Searle Swedlund, associate director of alumni relations, sits in his office amongst a history of nearly 100 years of student life.

“Better Together” Service Campaign Begins
Over the past few years the Red River has meant many different things to Concordia College students: no class, sand bagging, displacement.

This Ring Thing
This week, I had the good fortune to order my Cobber ring. For the next six to eight weeks due to shipping and handling, I will anxiously await a small, gold delivery. Being male and a bit of a classicist, it’s the first ring I’ve ever worn, and the only one I plan on wearing…
Let’s Take A Break
Okay Cobbers, it’s Friday. What do you want to be doing? Homework? I thought so. I mean, what else would a Cobber want to do? Okay, I jest, but in all honesty, we work incredibly hard at this school, and even if you don’t think you deserve a break, you probably do. If you cannot…
