The CoLab Fall Showcase was an excellent representation of very contemporary dance and arts on campus with plenty of variety and eccentricity.

A new academic year is now in full swing, and you’re either still in the honeymoon period or already finding grievances with your roommates or suitemates.

Spotif-what? Spotif-y? Spotif-Orchesis? You heard right: campus dance group Orchesis did a play-on-words with their name and Spotify, and it sort of worked as a title.
