For those of you who didn’t know, last week was social justice week, a time for education and fun events surrounding topics like sexuality, race, expression, intersectionality, and so much more. One of these lovely events was the peace market which was toward the end of the week. Though it was a chilly evening, people came out to listen to poetry and shop around at booths like Earth Links, Regis’ own crochet club, and more. Students were also invited to make their own essential oil blend and many people participated in the Unity Project, which was the beautiful yarn display up all week.

Last Wednesday, there was a little gathering in Regis 333 where people mingled, artists performed, and students got to learn a little something about Hip Hop. The performer Donny Blot (@donnyblot) had such a lovely presence and students appreciated him for sharing his talent.
After that, students were invited to walk around the room where they could learn about generations of Hip Hop and the artists that made the genre what it is. Artists like Snoop Dogg, Tupak Shakur, Nipsey Hussle, Lauren Hill, Missy Elliot, TLC, Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Kanye West, Slim Shady, Kid Cudi, Mac Miller, Donal Glover, Kendrick Lamar, and more were included.
Their lyrics and biographies were also exhibited, showing their lyrical gifts and enlightening people to their beautiful music.

The power is still out around some parts of the Northwest Regis University campus, and this reality carries over to the KRCX Regis Radio Station located in the basement of Clarke Hall. Since we haven’t been able to broadcast and display our talented new hires and DJs yet this year, let’s talk about it station’s history.
KRCX, the oldest college radio station in Denver, was one of the only stations to pioneer an apartment shortwave broadcast that connected to all of the dorms on campus--pretty convenient. Today, the radio streams online 24/7 and features a vast library of contemporary music important to students and timeless classic we all love-- from Snail Mail to Frank Ocean and all the way back to B.B. King. The station has seen legendary visitors in its professional-grade studio such as Ron Beaty, The Revivalists, Suuns, Oberhofer, Admiral Fallow and Bon Jovi.
But variety means more than music, and KRCX has stuck by that. In 2008 a group from the station went to the convention center to cover the Democratic Convention-- come see our pictures! We are a station that has evolved to the profound sound we are today. Serving to inform and entertain the Regis community, KRCX hosts live campus events and broadcasts music, talk, sports, and community announcements. We are excited for a new year and to carry on a proud tradition of dedication to our students and neighbors in the community. Look out for our Open Mics or stop by the basement of Clarke to get a volunteer DJ application, get away from campus and talk music, politics or whatever you are passionate about.
