Divine’s Intervention
After witnessing demonstrations and conflict on college campuses over the past couple of weeks, I decided it might be timely to revisit a topic I first addressed back in 2022. The American educational reformer and President of Antioch College, Horace Mann, once said, “Do not think of knocking out another person’s brains because he differs […]
Standing Up Against Violence
By Aliesia Berryman After the distressing and tragic events that took place at the Eastridge Mall in Casper on April 7 many Casperites are in shock. The community collectively grieves the loss of a fourteen-year-old boy. From what I’ve seen, the tragedy made all of us reflect on our city, our schools, and ourselves. As […]
The importance of stories in life
It is widely accepted that animals operate based on instinct—a set of innate behaviors that require no learning or practice.

The perfect spot for lunch
by: Lane Johnson Johnson’s Journal Imagine you wake up late for school and don’t have a chance to make yourself lunch. You have a 45-minute break between classes in the afternoon and don’t have a meal plan at the College. You could always just grab lunch from one of the fast-food restaurants in town. But […]
A lit conference that didn’t put me to sleep
Casper College held its 37th annual literary conference earlier this month, specifically from November 7th – through the 9th.
