What it means to be a part of this community

Colby Leopard April 22, 2013

Move past your differences, divisions; work together, make this place better

Stephen N. Dethrage April 22, 2013

Anyone who’s been around me for very long knows that my Radiohead fandom knows no bounds, so whether we’re old friends or complete strangers, I hope you’ll forgive me dragging them into my farewell...

Do what you love and you’ll love what you do

Charlie Bice April 22, 2013

When I first came here, I was overwhelmed and frightened by everything the University was and still is. It was one of the darkest periods in my life because I had no one that I considered a close friend...

The CW gives a voice to students not coddled by UA

Melissa Brown April 21, 2013

Ashley Chaffin April 21, 2013

Saying goodbye to The University of Alabama was supposed to be easy. The plan was to walk May 4 and be gone at most three days later. In October, this column would have been a quick reflection of my opinions...

Looking at my years spent at The University of Alabama in three acts

Hannah Hicks April 21, 2013

Act One: “Yea, Alabama!” I am 18. I pack my bags and drive fast to Tuscaloosa. I want to start a club. I’m going to be an activist. I will say and do important things for important causes. “A”...

Recognizing seniors who have made a difference at the Capstone

John Brinkerhoff April 21, 2013

The idea that college is “the journey of a lifetime” might be the single largest cliché employed by college recruiters. Still, there is some truth to that sentiment. Over the past three years, this...

I am Jack’s cautionary tale

Sarah Johnson April 21, 2013

As a realist, I know the advice of a CW farewell column means little, but writing this means a great deal to me. To 99 percent of you, this column will seem ridiculous. To some it will be common sense,...

Bonner’s proposals a major step forward

Tray Smith April 17, 2013
