Welcome to the first Collegian of the “break!”
It’s unfortunate how many CSU students are unaware of our campus’ and community’s summer culture. Whatever it is that takes these people away from Fort Collins tends to make them believe time stops here until their return.
If you have this paper in your hand, you’re most likely aware of how untrue that is. If not, we hope our once a week publication and constant updating of our newly revamped www.Collegian.com will keep you informed throughout the rest of these unique months.
As a student-run paper, we are also given the opportunity to go on vacations, work full time, and move in with the parents to save money on rent.
But just like Fort Collins, our duties here at Rocky Mountain Student Media don’t stop. In these first, short weeks of summer, thousands have been evacuated with a fire burning a mere 15 miles away, the headliners for this year’s NewWestFest have been announced, and campus parking has been completely torn apart.
I’d like to introduce you to this summer’s Media Team, a small group spending our warm weather break right here, writing and reporting on all the important things this campus and town will experience while many are away.
We’ve also started collecting and discussing stories related to all of Colorado on a tab of www.Collegian.com called “COins,” standing for “Colorado-Ins.” It’s a blog roll ofthings that we as residents of Colorado find interesting. We’re thinking you’ll find them interesting too.
