  Racing year-round can be challenging at times, especially when you are trying to peak for three straight seasons in a row.

We’re still hungry: JC café closure leaves students without food

  As a junior Bible/theology major, I practically live in the Johnson Center. And because of its remote location—far from Froggy’s or Regula Café or the cafeteria—I frequently attend classes hungry.

To dance or not to dance?

  Does dancing make babies? I have been a dancer for most of my life. It’s in my blood—I’m a Zumba instructor and I teach in the dance club on campus. I feel wrong if I don’t dance. But I haven’t been a Christian most of my life. I didn’t grow up wondering if dancing [...]
