QSA's Solidarity March in Response to Archdiocese Document

On November 15, QSA organized a Queer Solidarity March in response to the 17-page document the Archdiocese of Denver released to local Catholic school administrators. This document provided a series of guidelines regarding how Catholic schools should deal with LGBTQ issues, which stirred up a significant amount of controversy at Regis University. Among the controversial declarations included a series of prohibitions such as same-sex couples attending school dances, recognizing same-sex marriages as a family structure, requests to be addressed by a different pronoun, nor affirming a transgender identity. Further, the guidance states, “enrollment or re-enrollment of such a student at a Catholic school would not be appropriate.”
Members from the Regis community, including faculty, staff, and students, gathered in support of the queer and trans community.
Making of a City: Denver
By Sandra Vo, Staff Writer
From a small mining town to a cultural and economic stronghold of the United States, Denver’s ever-changing landscape reflects the shift in its role as a city throughout history. Below are historical photos of Denver from the late 1800s and early 1900s and photos of the same location in 2022. These photos are separated not by space, but time. This is the making of a city.
Nourished and Nurtured by Mother Nature

Since joining Regis University this year, I have found one program in particular that has impacted me and improved my mental health immensely. This program is the Outdoor Adventure Program (OAP). The Outdoor Adventure Program is exactly what it sounds like. It is a program designed to take Regis students to beautiful destinations for exploration and discovery in a safe and encouraging environment.
I have been on many trips with OAP this year, including adventures to Lake Dillon, CO; Genesee, CO; Snowmass, CO; Moab, UT; Shelf Road, CO; and I plan to embark on many more. With OAP, I have gone hiking, rock climbing, canyoneering, backpacking, camping, swimming, rafting, stargazing, and so much more. OAP has provided me with so many opportunities and has given me a positive outlet for my mental health.
