Happy last day of the semester everyone! Mark your calendars Cougars! 💜📆 Let’s meet the faces behind the posts! Carolann Tkach and Madison Stokes served as our social media and newsletter interns for the Fall 2025 semester. On Friday, December 5th, the Humanities & Education Department held the second annual Senior Mugging Ceremony! With two weeks left in the semester we have two Faculty Feature Fridays to share! Today we are featuring Administrative Assistant for the Departments of Humanities & Education, Jessy Swisher. It’s finally here! We’ve made it to Thanksgiving break! 🦃🍂🧡 Happy Monday friends! We hope that you are having a great start to your week and are looking forward to Thanksgiving Break! 🍂🥧 This Friday we are switching it up! Instead of a faculty feature, we are bringing you a student AND alumni feature! Words come alive when read aloud. Congratulations to @thefourthriver for launching two 20th anniversary issues on Friday, November 14! Thank you to all the contributors, editors, and volunteers, who make this journal possible. And shoutout to @minorbird_cu for tabling and representing our undergraduate journal! To learn more and grab a physical copy of the journal, check out The Fourth River’s website and Instagram.
