Start Strong in Class: A Guide to Professors
By: Kira Oviedo, Staff Writer
One of the most common misconceptions spread by high school educators is that college professors are more or less hard-headed. As a first-year student, it is reasonable to prepare for this type of environment, but is that the reality? Fortunately enough, I believe this to be a myth.

Communication Career Panel: Advice & Major Themes
By: Morgan Jacobus, Editor in Chief
In case you missed it, there was a communication career panel with Regis alumni last Wednesday. There was a lot to learn from these panelists, who all took different paths after graduation and each had a unique perspective to offer. Though there is a plentitude of advice that current communication students can learn from, they also offered plenty of practical advice, even for people who are not majoring in communication. From internships and mentors to the skills they learned and wished they had learned, here are the highlights from the panel.
First, let’s introduce the panelists. The panel was composed of five alumni: Nikolas Gatan, Mikaela Meyer, Zoey Sweeny, McKenna Solomon, and Ariana Badran. Gatan graduated in 2015, and now does sales and client relationships for Sphero, a STEM education company in Colorado. Meyer graduated in 2017, has graduated law school, and is currently working for a judge. Sweeny graduated in 2019, has PR/ marketing/ advertising experience and works in client relationships. Solomon graduated in 2017 and is the current social media strategist and marketing writer at Regis. Badran graduated with a dual major in Communication and Peace and Justice and is the assistant shelter manager at The Dolores Project in Denver.
