Dear Dominican students, staff and faculty,
Welcome to the first issue of the spring season! As the weather warms up gradually in the coming weeks, I hope you’re able to get some outdoor times before we return next time for finals. The month of April signals many major events such as Easter Sunday on April 17 and Earth Day on April 22. The events for the month of March gave me nostalgia for the pre-2020 times, we saw a plethora of activities put out by student organizations: the stunning performance by the Starlettes dance team, the peace for Ukraine fundraiser, the annual fashion show, return of the casino night event, Coming Out of the Shadows (Saliendo De Las Sombras) and pronoun buttons … the list goes on. All of these events – especially Saliendo De Las Sombras and Fashion Show being so unique to our institution — once again demonstrate how inclusive our community is for anyone who wishes to engage in the fun.
If you are an underclassman, be sure to check out the Easter Egg Hunt in exchange for prizes in the Social Hall on April 13. I personally have not had any luck finding any Easter eggs all three years, but I might try out my luck this year.
In this issue, we are also exploring two other unique angles: fashion and nutrition science, from our student experts in these programs. And have you checked out our DU Starcast yet? It’s a great way to get to know all that’s happening around campus on your drive to school.
Enjoy the weather and Happy Easter Break!
