Thank you, students, for putting up with recent construction at the Forest Park library! You’ve had to use new routes to get to the library and listen to a good amount of noise, but we are glad to see so many of you still showing up to use your library space. […]

The voters have spoken, and Proposition R passed! I am thankful and grateful to all of you for your support of St. Louis Community College. The passage of this tax initiative means that the region will continue to benefit from St. Louis Community College graduates, but provide even more funding to do the following: […]

If you’re looking for a TV show that will cause you to experience a wide range of emotions while also shedding light on the extreme atrocities this country was founded on, well, I’ve got just the series for you. But I will warn you, it’s not for those with weak stomachs nor weak minds. […]

How strange is it going to school during a pandemic? Extremely.

When I first heard about coronavirus, I didn’t take it seriously. I traveled to New York City in March, before the respiratory illness was declared a pandemic. There were no travel restrictions or “shelter-in-place” orders at the time. Restaurants, bars and other businesses were operating as usual. […]
