I took a moment on the airwaves to address solutions for this academic year with Web Content Assistant Manager Ally Bolender and Production staff member Dylan […]
By Andrea MauWeb Content Contributor I sat down with Calvin Miller, the Podcast Manager at KTSW, on Aug. 6 to discuss common concerns we noticed from incoming freshmen. Overwhelmingly, we realized the concerns for fall 2020 first-year students are much higher and differentiated from past generations. It was sad to hear that some freshmen had all but given up on enjoying a traditional college experience. However, from our discussion, Miller […]

While this freedom is exciting, it […]
By Jess BazalduaWeb Content Contributor A new normal is settling in for the fall 2020 semester. Roadmaps and plans have been enacted to ensure that student health is a top priority while maintaining education methods. However, major rites of passage and events that usually accompany incoming freshmen, such as high school graduation and move-in weekend, have taken drastic turns for the purpose of social distancing. I had the pleasure of […]

By Timia CobbWeb Content Contributor Tatiana Torres and I sat down and had a conversation over our mutual struggle of being first-generation college students. First-generation students are coming from households where either one or neither parent has attended a university or attained a bachelor’s degree. These students do not have access to resources that make it easy to apply to colleges, to help them fill out financial aid or to […]
