One of the best things about Doane is that it suits nature-lovers pretty well. At least, in my opinion. There’s trees and fauna and wildlife for students to feast their eyes upon. There’s even an outdoor nature classroom just beyond the Hansen Hall parking lot, and a trail through the trees that has markers for

With AI unfortunately becoming more prevalent every day, it’s become incredibly easy to identify when a poster or piece of writing used AI for its creation. Identifying things like this is a talent of mine, as I have not yet been wrong in any of my assumptions, but it’s started to become something that more

Well-devoted readers, if I am going to be one-hundred percent transparent with you, I never saw myself getting to this point in life. A senior in college. Some may say I officially reached unc status, which, for my peers who are also graduating this year, just know I didn’t say that. However, let’s talk about
