Just Published: Women's Tennis: Record Clinched, by Ali Parkhurst

In the 2018-19 season, following a win against Central College on April 28, the Wartburg Women’s Tennis team made program history by earning their 18th win of the season. For the next seven years, the record of most wins in a season would remain at 18, being tied only once during the 2024-25 season. That was, until last Friday, April 10.

Just published: To Insist, Persist and Never Stop Fighting for Justice: Community in Colombia, by Chloe Rehmert

During winter break, I traveled to Colombia with Spiritual Life and Campus Ministry to learn more about its civil unrest and peace efforts. It was the first time I have traveled outside of the United States. I think it was one of the best places I visited first.
