A Last Letter from the Editor
By Morgan Jacobus, Editor in Chief
I have had the privilege of serving as Editor in Chief of this publication for the past three years. I was fortunate to have been given the opportunity at the end of my freshman year by my prior editor, Catie. Just as she took a chance on me, I did the same by passing my title on to freshman staff writer, Austin Price. She will be supported by Madelynn Loring and Sandra Vo, who have been dedicated members of my team for the past two years.
In reflection on my time, I have had highs and lows of things I wish I had done while being proud of what I was able to accomplish on my own. It has just been me supporting this publication for the past few years, and I hope that I was able to build a steady enough foundation for my colleagues to carry it on without me.
Getting the Best Price for College Textbooks
By Morgan Jacobus, Editor in Chief
Not only can college be really expensive, but on top of tuition there is the additional expense of course materials. However, for the 2022-23 academic year, textbook acquisition looks different for Regis students. Earlier this summer, Regis students received an email regarding the new endeavor to make textbooks more affordable through Regis’ partnership with their bookstore vendor, Follett.
Through this new program, Regis students are charged a flat $35 per credit hour fee, and in return will receive their course materials through mail or bundled and ready at the Ranger Station Bookstore. It is worth noting that this program may not include all academic programs, such as nursing. Further, there is the option to opt out of the program, which may be in the best interest of many Regis students.
