The new big man on campus

Q&A with interim Chancellor, Jerry Wartgow

You’re likely to find him strolling through campus, asking students how they’re doing and practicing his made-up degree in MBWA—management by walking around.

Find meaningful job experience while in class

Getting a job off campus isn’t a choice for many students. Especially for those who don’t have a trust fund to blow on the latest iPhone, and a $200 bar tab without having to worry about tuition and books.

For the rest of us, the Student Employment office is here to help. Their mission to help students find “meaningful employment” extends to all students, as stated on the office’s website.

Auraria book buybacks uncovered

Earning a degree often includes a hefty financial strain. The numbers that aren’t figured into the ever-climbing tuition prices include a cost that may vary per semester: textbook fees. Nearly every college course is supplemented with a mandatory textbook. The Auraria Campus Bookstore alleviates some of these burdens by offering students cash for books through its book buyback program.

Volunteer hours result in scholarships

Every major has specific requirements. For many students, the criteria may be as simple as completing introductory courses in order to gain access to the courses necessary to graduate.

Need to Know

Bathrooms for the bashful

Shy students on campus might be too preoccupied with term papers and exams to think about where to go to the bathroom. But when nature calls (when you need to discharge fecal matter from your body), such students are confronted with a dilemma: most public restrooms at Auraria Campus are strikingly similar to prison showers.

The proper way to put plastic away

It’s one of the easiest ways to participate in the great “save the world” campaign: recycling. But that purple bin standing next to your collection of Star Wars memorabilia in the garage isn’t a magical contraption that turns all plastic into soy plants. There are rules.

Get your coffee fix at a discount

Maybe you have noticed that warm beverages, specifically of the caffeinated sort, are quite popular with college students. Some coffee shops downtown have caught this trend and are showing their appreciation by giving student discounts to anyone with an Auraria student ID.

While buying organic is becoming more and more a modern rage, some are asking if it’s worth the higher prices for our health. Dietitians say that while organic can be healthier, there is an efficient way to buy organic without losing the better part of your paycheck.
