Students at Colorado State University participated in a protest on Friday, Sept. 17 against the University’s response to the presence of preachers on campus in the previous weeks.  The protest, organized by “#CallOutCSU,” consisted of a gathering on The Lory Student Center Plaza and a subsequent march down University Avenue to The Oval, where the […]

The Minnesota Golden Gophers found great success against Colorado Saturday, out-gaining the Buffaloes 443-63 in total offense en-route to a 30-0 victory.

The Gophers’ defense started out fast, holding Colorado to zero yards of total offense in the first quarter. The Gophers best chance of scoring in the quarter came when kicker Matthew Trickett missed a 24 yard field goal on their opening offensive drive, but there were ultimately no points to show for the clinical first quarter, ending 0-0 after 15 minutes of play.

Redshirt-sophomore running back Trey Potts opened up the game’s scoring when he capped off an eight-play, 82 yard drive with a 13 yard touchdown to begin the second quarter. A missed Trickett extra point gave the Gophers’ a 6-0 lead.

It continued to be tough sledding for Colorado, as the Minnesota defense continued to make plays. Senior defensive lineman Thomas Rush recorded his first sack of the season, forcing the Buffaloes to punt the ball away.

After a deep 39 yard pass to redshirt-sophomore wide receiver Dylan Wright, Trey Potts added another touchdown in the Gophers’ favor extending their lead to 13-0.

It continued to be a defensive battle, as the first half closed out with no more points scored, and Minnesota took its 13-0 lead into the locker room.

As the third quarter began, it looked like it would be another slow second half for the Gophers after Matthew Trickett missed his second field goal of the day on the team’s first offensive drive of the half.

After exchanging punts back and forth, a forced fumble from graduate-senior Jack Gibbens on the following Colorado drive, led to the Gophers regaining momentum.

Trey Potts was spelled by true-freshman running back Bucky Irving on the proceeding drive and for much of the game, but it was Potts who added his third touchdown of the day growing Minnesota’s lead to 20-0.

The fourth quarter saw the Gophers’ offensive line continue to perform at a high level giving the team’s skill position players every opportunity to make plays. A made field goal from Matthew Trickett and redshirt-freshman running back Ky Thomas’ first career touchdown resulted in a 30-0 Gophers victory.

Redshirt-senior wide receiver Chris Autman-Bell led the team with four catches and 79 receiving yards in his first game of the season back from injury. Trey Potts performed very well for the second consecutive game, totaling 26 carries for 121 yards and three touchdowns.
Minnesota now extends its non-conference winning streak to a nation’s-best 21 games, as it moves to 2-1 on the season.

The Gophers will have their final non-conference test next week, as they welcome Bowling Green to Huntington Bank Stadium in the team’s annual Homecoming game, kicking-off at 11:00 a.m. local time.

As I tumbled out of the Uber and joined my friends on the sidewalk, I was instantly captivated by the glowing neon sign that read “Food Terminal.” After the grand welcoming to the restaurant, I stepped inside only to be amazed by the sheer size of the place. Flood lights and tables seemed to stretch across the entire block, and servers were bustling around to deliver food to hungry customers. The atmosphere was electrifying, hyping me up even more as we sat down.

Having only truly lived in Atlanta for the last two weeks, I haven’t had much satisfying Asian cuisine. Despite my low expectations, I remained excited about the street food-esque setup of the restaurant. But right after glancing over our menus, we started shouting simultaneously at each other, obsessing over the pictures on the menu and the many iconic dishes that reminded us of home. Then I fell silent, thinking about my family.

Like many other international students, the pandemic has restricted my ability to see my dad and my extended family in China. So for over five years, not only have I not had a chance to see my family, but I am also homesick for those boisterous Chinese holidays and eating my grandfather’s home-cooked meals. The photos of Amy Wong, the owner of Food Terminal, and photos of the food on the menu only made me miss it more. 

After immigrating to the U.S. from Malaysia over 30 years ago, Wong built an impressive career as a restauranteur, finally able to achieve the food dream she’s had since she was 10 years old. 

“I could cook a lot of food,” Wong said. “But not a lot of people were able to eat it, so I wanted to open a restaurant and use it as a platform.” 

Growing up, she juggled school and selling noodles on the street to make extra money to support her family. Every day, Wong would attend school in the morning, buy ingredients around noon and cook her noodles. Then from 6 p.m. to midnight, she would be on the street, trying to sell her noodles. 

Wong says that she’s always been passionate and sensitive about food, glaringly evident by her 30 years of dedication to food service. However, Wong’s encouragement to build her business came in part from her children. One menu item, Grandma’s BBQ Pork, is her mother’s recipe. When she first cooked it for her children, they all loved it and urged her to sell it to the public — and Food Terminal was born.

“At first, we didn’t think [Grandma’s BBQ Pork] was anything special, but in the U.S., they don’t have anything like it,” Wong said. “When my daughters tried it, they told me it was so delicious, and we should sell it. As a result, we created Food Terminal with my mom’s dish at the center.”

While Wong loves experimenting with new ideas and coming up with original recipes — almost all the menu items are her own — she also enjoys going to restaurants to eat other people’s food. When she is able to visit Malaysia, Wong orders the restaurants’ most famous dishes. If she likes it, she talks to the chef and asks if she can take the recipe back to the U.S. 

Malay cuisine is an amalgamation of numerous neighboring Asian countries like India, Thailand, China and Singapore. Despite the fact that Wong caters to a primarily American audience, she still tries to maintain the authenticity of food that she grew up loving. Malay curry is different from Thai curry because it borrows from Indian spices like saffron; likewise, it differs from Chinese cuisine due to its versatile use of coconut milk. In spicy food, Wong said, using coconut milk enhances its flavor. 

“In Malaysia, Food Terminal is a fusion of small stalls with different types of foods that each street vendor sells,” Wong said. “But my restaurant combines all of them into one.” 

When Wong works in the kitchen, she inspects every dish after it’s brought back. Did they finish everything on the plate, or was there food leftover? If there are leftovers, Wong remembers and tweaks her menu. She also said that nearly all of her staff members have been working with her for at least a decade. Wong has opened three restaurants in Georgia: Top Spice, Sweet Hut Bakery and Food Terminal. She aims to continue expanding her businesses around the country and bringing traditional Asian food for people to experience in the U.S. 

Maybe at first glance, Food Terminal isn’t everyone’s first choice for a Friday night dinner. The menu is exceptionally long, the restaurant is large and the name is nothing unique. But after enjoying a bowl of noodles and talking to Wong, you’ll be dying to return. 

I ordered the six-hour Braised Beef Noodle Soup and shared the Hainanese Chicken with a friend. The beef was tender, and the noodles reminded me of Lanzhou ramen. The long table that my friends and I sat at took me back to Chinese New Year dinners where so many people talk over each other. There’s something about reaching your chopsticks into the middle of the table to grab a piece of chicken, or across to your left to try some of your friend’s noodles that reinforce the narrative Wong had told me.

Despite being open for two years, the history of the Food Terminal is not just about how long ago it was erected, it’s a reflection of Wong, her daughters and all their customers — not to mention an ode to Malaysian food. Food Terminal is a product of Wong’s past, selling noodles as a student in school, her present as a successful restaurateur who adores her staff members and customers just as much as she loves food, and has a future that involves all of those who will continue to pass on their experience at Food Terminal.

Tale of the tape: TCU’s Max Duggan drives dagger into heart of Cal’s defense

Aasha Turner/Staff

As the game of football has evolved over the years, so too has the position of quarterback. The sport has gradually transitioned away from the sturdy pocket presence signal-callers toward a newer, more dynamic breed: the dual-threat quarterback.

One has to look no further than 2019 NFL MVP Lamar Jackson to see the nightmares that a dual-threat quarterback can give opposing defenses. No longer does a defense simply have to account for a quarterback’s arm; it must also account for his feet — quarterbacks now look to extend plays by leaving the pocket and often take off if their receivers are covered downfield.

And as the quarterback position has evolved, so too have offensive playbooks. Perhaps one of the best examples of a scheme designed specifically for mobile quarterbacks is the read option: the play that TCU quarterback Max Duggan executed to perfection late in the fourth quarter of the Horned Frogs’ win over Cal on Saturday.

Let’s break down how a read option works. First, the quarterback must read the defense. The opposing team’s outside linebacker is intentionally left unblocked so that he has a free pass at either the quarterback or the running back. Then, seeing where the linebacker is headed, the quarterback must choose between two options: hand the ball off to the running back or fake the handoff and keep it himself to run, as all of his other targets are already assigned to block downfield.

Duggan, who has been lauded for his abilities as both a passer and a runner, was well aware that he had the Bears’ defense on its toes. After all, Duggan had already thrown for three touchdowns to that point, and with TCU knocking on the door again from Cal’s 9-yard line, the Bears’ defensive backs were playing far off of the line of scrimmage to prevent another passing touchdown.

But Duggan wasn’t the only one the blue and gold had to account for. Sophomore running back Zach Evans, one of the most prolific rushers in the nation, had already gashed Cal’s defense with a 51-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. Certainly, Evans, who finished the game with 190 yards on the ground, was a candidate to get a carry on first-and-goal.

And so, the Horned Frogs smartly opted to run the read option.

With 5:53 left in the contest and TCU clinging to a 1-point lead, a touchdown (and successful PAT) would ensure that the Bears couldn’t do more than tie the game. On first-and-goal, the Horned Frogs left Cal outside linebacker Cameron Goode untouched off of the edge as their left tackle double-teamed the Bears’ interior lineman. The decision forced Goode to choose between pursuing Duggan and Evans, who stood next to each other.

When it was clear Goode was going after Evans — eventually tackling him into the ground — Duggan faked the handoff and tucked it under his arm. TCU decided to line up two receivers on the right side to offset Cal’s defense before the snap, leaving plenty of space along the left side of the field. Strong blocking from the Horned Frogs’ receivers on the perimeter meant the only people with a chance of tackling Duggan were the Bears’ two linebackers, Evan Tattersall and Mo Iosefa, and cornerback Joshua Drayden.

A delayed block from TCU’s center on Tattersall took the linebacker completely out of the picture. Similarly, the Horned Frogs’ left tackle, after initially double-teaming on the interior, kicked out and stonewalled Iosefa. That left only Drayden to make the tackle, but he was too late to react as Duggan sprinted up the left seam. One cutback later, Duggan was diving into the end zone and beating his chest in celebration.

It is hard to blame Cal for failing to make the stop. But when you step back, you realize that the play was only made possible by the Bears’ defensive mistakes earlier in the game. If Evans and Duggan had been kept in check earlier, Cal would not have been in that situation. And if Duggan had not scored on that play, maybe the Bears wouldn’t have a measly 2-0 record to show for.

Nightmares surrounding STEM PhDs are plentiful — classic examples are the student who spends 14 hours a day in the lab, the coworker who sabotages others’ experiments and the newly graduated student who stares down the barrel of two consecutive postdoctoral positions because they are unprepared for the job market. Each of these scenarios can be traced back to one well-defined yet unsolved problem: bad mentoring. PhD students are voicing concerns about their supervisors, and it is time that academic institutions listen to their students and compel faculty to become better mentors. The data is clear: Students who are supervised effectively are more likely to publish papers, graduate and pursue a satisfying career. On the other hand, students who are poorly mentored underperform and more often develop moderate to severe anxiety and/or depression.

Most STEM PhD students rely on one faculty mentor — known as a principal investigator — throughout their graduate program. As such, it is important that this mentor be adequately trained in management, leadership and communication skills. But too many professors in STEM are hired almost solely on the basis of their ability to bring in money for the university by obtaining grants for their research. Even though graduate students are advised for several years by these professors, universities often do not require formal training to educate professors on the best practices of managing and mentoring students. The lack of human relations and people management skills lead to particularly dark consequences; more than 10% of respondents to Nature’s 2019 PhD student survey experiencing aggressive or overly critical behavior or other forms of bullying from their supervisors. Twenty-one percent also reported experiencing discrimination or harassment. Despite these staggering results, over half of those who reported bullying felt unable to speak out against it. Such a rate of unreported incidents can likely be attributed to fears of repercussion and a lack of trust that the institution will take appropriate action against the supervisor.

This bullying happens right here at Brown. I have personally heard of supervisors manipulating students into working long hours and pitting students against each other to drive competition and increase performance. I have also witnessed supervisors making fun of multilingual students for word choice or pronunciation in front of others. These actions go unreported and unpunished due to the armor of tenure that shields professors. It is thus unsurprising that almost one in four respondents would change their supervisor if they could restart their program, and 23% of respondents said that the impact of a poor relationship with their supervisor was their primary PhD concern. The data is clear, and academic institutions — including Brown — must address these alarming statistics to improve graduate student wellbeing, performance and satisfaction.

According to Stanford University sociologist Morris Zelditch, effective graduate student mentors are multifaceted tutors and support systems. They should readily provide moral encouragement, career guidance and constructive feedback and serve as role models for their students. As Nature’s survey indicates, PhD mentorship tends to fail on most of these fronts — and the anecdotes from Brown graduate student shows that our University is no exception. By holding graduate student mentors to Zelditch’s standards, universities including Brown could not only improve the PhD experience, but also better equip them for their future career path.

To solve the PhD mentoring crisis and achieve Zelditch’s criteria, academic institutions should approach this problem from two perspectives: one that demands faculty meet the expectations of effective graduate student mentors as outlined above and one that encourages graduate students to build a network of mentors at the start of their PhD to fill in gaps when a supervisor falls short. To establish good mentoring practices, institutions should require faculty to attend regular, formal training in human relations, people management and leadership development. Institutions should also regularly solicit graduate students’ feedback on their mentors and take appropriate action against faculty failing to meet expectations. These evaluations would give an anonymous platform for students to rate their supervisors across the six parameters defined above as well as report incidences of bullying, bias or harassment.

Universities must also make it easier for students to form a network of mentors from the outset of their PhD program, rather than expecting that students rely on one supervisor for all of their advising needs. To find this team of mentors, students should be encouraged to seek out and participate in programs, events and courses that are not in their specific field of study to aid in personal, professional and career development throughout their education. Students who cast a wide net in their search for mentors will open more doors for themselves than those who rely on just one.

The appeal of anonymity has only been exacerbated by the past year’s reliance on Zoom courses. Without the ability to bare their hearts to their crushes in person, many USC students publicly pined for their remote crushes on @usc.missedconnections, an Instagram page which now boasts over 5,800 followers.  

Thousands of students have used the page’s anonymous submission form to express their interest in the students they keep pinned to their Zoom window during online classes, Trader Joe’s and Dulce employees with impressive style and professors they’re secretly crushing on. 

The page was created by sophomores Will Domke and Calvin Mattson in October 2020, with Domke lately serving as the main administrator.  The two SDA students now receive anywhere from 20 to 30 submissions per day. If you’ve ever submitted a confession and didn’t see it posted, don’t feel personally offended. The page has over 700 submissions on backlog from past semesters. Domke has even resorted to deleting old submissions to keep posts fresh.

Domke and Mattson, majoring in acting and theatre, respectively, met online while looking for roommates for the 2020-2021 school year. When a conversation on the pair’s mutual acceptance into Emerson College shifted to the school’s confession page, Domke and Mattson figured a similar one would do well at USC. 

“When we started it, we literally made up the first few submissions,” Domke said. “We were like, we’re going to fake them and so people will be more comfortable with sending in real ones.”

The pair anticipated they would have to do that for a while but got a flurry of posts from Trojans looking to make connections. They still detail, however, receiving submissions, this time from the student body. People often submit them for themselves and their friends. 

“There was this one guy from some frat — I don’t remember which one —  but he kept sending things in about like, blah, blah, blah, in this frat,” Domke said. “And I was like, ‘there’s no way.’ I just stopped posting ones from him. Sorry to him. Maybe you just have a bunch of admirers!”

The two promised their rapidly growing following a face reveal at 5,000 followers but eventually forgot about it. 

“This can be our unofficial admin reveal, our soft launch,” Domke said about the article.

According to Domke, the popularity of the confession page can largely be attributed to people’s need to live vicariously through the secrets of others.

“It’s fun to read things that people have admitted that are maybe a little bit embarrassing,” Domke said. “People love rumors, and this is a place where you could just live vicariously through other people’s little crushes and rumours.” 

The page’s popularity hasn’t just drawn attention from students. Domke’s, along with other college confession pages, has garnered coverage from major news networks.

“We did a little interview for the Los Angeles Times. We were in the print edition,” Domke said. “My mom sent me the article. She was like, ‘Did you hear about this?’”

Despite the page’s popularity, secret confessions aren’t always well-received. One post on the page expressed users’ concerns over triggering elements of some posts and received support in the comments. It especially raised concerns over those that contain sexually aggressive language.

Another post on the page featured someone who indicated they were a resident assistant confessing their interest in a former resident of theirs.

Junior Jeniffer Velazquez commented on the post, half-jokingly telling the student to “run.”

“When you are a person of authority and have some kind of attraction toward a person that [you’re] supposed to be helping, especially an RA — these are most likely students that are fresh to college — there’s just a weird advantage in that situation,” Velazquez said.

After reflecting on the harms of giving these people a platform, Domke and Matthison have devoted more thought into minimizing sexually aggressive comments and analyzing the dynamics of sexual speech. They pay special attention to the dynamics of sexual situations described.

“I try to think about the language that [the person] uses and who is acting upon who,” Domke said. “So, if someone is like, ‘rail me,’ then I’m like, OK … that’s someone asking someone to act upon them. That’s different [from] them being like, ‘let me hit.’ It’s very pedantic, but that is something that I think about; like if someone is asking for someone to do something to them as opposed to the other way around, then I’m generally more cool with it.”

The page has especially become more cautious about publishing posts where students comment on others’ bodies.

“It could make someone feel really weird. We have moved away from that kind of stuff this semester,” Domke said. “But if we still receive enough of those submissions, it would be dishonest not to post some of them. If people are creative with it, I’m more inclined to post it.”

Some think that when students tag those that appear in the post, much harm is already done. A student who wished to remain anonymous out of concerns for privacy and safety said a large concern of theirs is that this trend can expose subjects’ personal information to people they would rather remain unknown to.

One way Domke and Matthison respond to these criticisms is by deleting posts at subjects’ request, without question. 

“We’ve had some people be like, ‘hey, can you take this down? It’s about me,’ and then we just take it down. We have to. Why would you not take it down?” Domke said. “We always repost without the confession, and I do feel annoyed sometimes, but I just have to do it.”

In Domke’s own words, confession pages “can, as documented in so many shows, very quickly become bad and toxic.” Domke dedicates just five to 10 minutes to each post, but the real challenge has been taking on the responsibility of critically thinking through issues of privacy, consent and safety. Through these guidelines, Domke hopes to maintain the page’s most important value: that these posts are fun and provide comedic relief to the USC community.

Domke hopes to continue the page after graduating, and based on the popular reception, it seems like students will continue to enjoy reading these secrets. 

“Hopefully, we’ll find people to take it over,” Domke said. “But I don’t even know if Instagram’s even going to be popular in three or fours years. So I’m just kind of going with it. I’m happy with where we are.”

STATESBORO- The Office of Leadership and Community Engagement (OLCE) is hosting their annual event, Step Into Statesboro, this Saturday morning.

This event will run from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and is designed to welcome and inform students about Statesboro, and help them discover the community. Attendees will also be able to learn more about local volunteer and engagement opportunities around town. 

There will be a featured presenter to hear from and other local community partners to meet. Afterwards, students will go on a field trip to Downtown Statesboro led by Serve912 Trip Leaders or Community Liaisons, and be able to shop at the Mainstreet Farmers Market. 

 Emily Tanner, the OLCE Community Engagement Coordinator, has taken the reins this year to plan Step Into Statesboro. She believes that showing students the unique places in the downtown area will continue drawing them back for future events and exploration. 

 Tanner continued with, “The information is designed to spark curiosity and encourage students to make connections with partners, especially those who they feel are supporting or addressing a need or issue they are personally passionate about or connected to.”   

This event also gives the OLCE the ability to educate students on the community engagement within their office, to ultimately allow students to feel a greater sense of connection to the area.

Tanner explained that engaging with Statesboro goes deeper than just volunteering, and can be more about social justice and actively engaging with community partners to help them achieve their goals. 

This year, Step into Statesboro has developed a strong partnership with the Statesboro Farmers Market. John Banter, the OLCE Associate Director, said, “This will allow them to not only share information and resources with our students, but also with the community at large.”

Because of COVID, a lot of Georgia Southern students have not yet had the opportunity to explore Statesboro beyond campus, making this year’s event all the more special.

Clair Crow, a junior at Georgia Southern, attended this event last year when it was virtual. Although it was different online, she enjoyed learning more about the local businesses and all that Statesboro has to offer. 

“It made me feel more connected to the town and I was able to visit those places after the event,” Crow said. 

Step Into Statesboro’s goal is for students to become more active citizens of and for the local community. The information they receive can hopefully lead students to want to serve and support locally owned businesses in the growing downtown area.

Students can sign up for this event through Eagle Engage on their mygeorgiasouthern portal, or by clicking here.

In many ways, the Met Gala has become something of a show in and of itself: the world’s most famous actors, musicians, and celebrities always attend, the fashion and costuming are often the most talked about feature of the event, and unlike most film, the goal of the event is charity.

The event, sponsored by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is an annual fundraising gala dedicated to raising money for the Met’s Costume Institute, the fashion wing of the museum itself. The Costume Institute is the only wing of the museum that is expected to fund itself and so the gala is used as a way of killing two birds with one stone: the Costume Institute is funded, and the exhibit additionally gets to show off the theme of their season. This year’s theme was “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion.” The Met Gala took place on Sept. 13, 2021.

So what happens at the Met Gala? The world’s rich and powerful, or at least those who care about fashion, get dressed up in the season’s most extravagant fashion by a variety of designers and they socialize. The charity part comes in the form of the plate cost: a whopping 35 thousand per dinner. The rest of the funding comes from donations from generous patrons. The Met Gala is also organized by those who will be in attendance with this year’s gala being organized by actor Timothee Chalamet, singer-songwriter Billie Eilish, poet Amanda Gorman, and athlete Naomi Osaka. The entertainment was provided by Canadian singer-songwriter Justin Bieber.

The most noteworthy feature of the Met Gala is obviously the lavish outfits that the attendees don to show off. The outfits are designed by a plethora of fashion companies including Ralph Lauren, Balenciaga, Altuzarra, Prada, Thom Browne, Luis Vuitton, Chanel, and others.

There were a couple of standouts from the evening for a variety of reasons. Recently out transgender actor Elliot Page attended in a suit inspired by Irish poet Oscar Wilde, known for his status as an openly gay man in the late 1800s. Page wore a green rose on their lapel to signify this connection. Olympian Simone Biles, who gained fame for both her incredible gymnastic skill and her deference to her own mental health at the Tokyo Olympics this year, attended the gala in a dress inspired by the roaring 20s complete with both sparkles and a train that required four assistants to carry in and around the gala. 

Singers Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello attended the gala in outfits that harken back to their first collaboration “Senorita” with Mendes wearing a steamy open shirt getup and Cabello wearing an outfit combining Latin and Jazz Age influences. Kim Kardashian made waves with an outfit that was ridiculed by some as looking like a Dementor from Harry Potter. However, the outfits at the Met Gala are often dramatic. 

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez also attended the event in a white dress scrawled with the words, “Tax the Rich.” The dress, and her attendance, has already garnered her some controversy, although controversy is something she is accustomed to.

The pageantry of the Met Gala is a form of entertainment all its own. Digging into the interesting outfits can provide its own kind of fun and the evening’s creative charity might even help you spark your own creative side.

After over a year of opportunities to showcase outfits designated for school delegated solely to the torso and up via Zoom, many students on campus are pulling out all of the stops for what is, for some, their first hours spent in a classroom since March of 2020.

A&E took a stroll through the East Bank campus to check out some of the best outfits of the first week.

Statement colors

Fall fashion doesn’t have to be all burnt orange or maroon. Beyond the transitional period of late-August to early-September, there’s room for bright shades and bold pieces.

Third-year student Serafina Ganther has mastered the art of color. From the assortment of rainbow beads around her neck to her green checkered pants, Ganther’s got it down.

Sometimes, the key to a solid outfit lies in the accessories. Second-year student Mykaila Reynen stunts in brightly colored shades.

Knits

There’s an endless assortment of knitwear to be incorporated into your fall wardrobe — chunky sweaters, cardigans, vests, crochet tops and more. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to knitwear, which makes it an accessible trend to ease into.

Kate Prom and Gaby Kauls, both third-year students, went for sweater vests. While Prom kept it casual with denim shorts, Kauls’s monochrome outfit was a bit of a bolder choice.

Hannah Hansen, third-year student, chose a soft-yellow knit dress for the first day of classes.

Denim, denim and more denim

In an ever-changing trend cycle, there are some things that never go out of style. One of those looks that never loses its power is the subtle statement made by a solid piece of denim.

Jack Foley, third-year student, spent the day in a classic Canadian tuxedo. Second-year duo Luella Langlinais and Kathleen Zhang chose bold jeans but amplified the look with a pop of green on top.

Colorado State University President Joyce McConnell released another statement to the CSU community in response to a bias incident last week and a protest today on The Plaza and outside of the Administration Building.   The email referred to a statement from the CSU department of ethnic studies in response to the bias incident, where posters […]
