Merger Statement:
This semester, in line with FRCC President Dr. Simpson’s new One College model, The Front Page and The Reporter are joining forces under The Front Page banner, and expanding their coverage to FRCC’s Boulder County Campus. In order to preserve the independent voices of all three FRCC campuses, each campus will retain its own editor, copy editor, and advisor, as well as their own staff of writers and/or other content creators. All decisions made by The Front Page will be ultimately overseen by the Editorial Board, made up of one advisor and one editor from each campus. One of these editors will be appointed by the Editorial Board to be the Managing Editor, whose role will be to oversee and guide the operation of The Front Page.

FRCC Students return to their classes after the all clear is given- 8/28/2023. Photo by Seth Ciancio
Last Thursday, September the 28th, FRCC students had their days interrupted by a fire alarm. Many students and staff expressed a heightened level of concern, given that a fire drill had occurred in the building earlier that same month. After just a few minutes, Firetrucks arrived on the scene. First, one from the Westminster Fire Department, whose crew entered the building escorted by a security guard. Shortly thereafter, another truck from North Metro Fire Rescue arrived, which left a few minutes later. Approximately 25 minutes after the alarm went off, students and staff were given the all-clear to return to the building. Asked after the event, a member of FRCC’s security team said that the apparent false alarm was suspected to have been caused by a smoker.

How CSU helped save a champion’s legacy: the tornado and the Tornado Twins
By Savannah Grace Brown Tuesday anxiously gathered her family into the barn’s safety. The Weather Service had issued storm warnings for Windsor and the surrounding plains. The storm touched down with little warning, ripping the structure from its foundation and slamming it back to earth.

Why is CLEP such a secret at FRCC?
By Nyxi Gammieri When I explained to a first-year classmate how my academic plan had changed so dramatically — that what I expected to be two years at FRCC was shaved down to three semesters in a flash — it was met with disbelief. “How is that even possible?” It sounds unrealistic. It isn’t. It came down to… Continue reading Why is CLEP such a secret at FRCC?
Calm in the chaos: inside FRCC’s EMS 1021
By Nyxi Gammieri A panicked voice fills the room. An elderly woman lies in pain as her son urges responders to move faster. Instead of rushing her out the door, though, EMTs begin treatment there — something many people don’t realize they’re trained to do. For Brandy Heustis, moments like this are part of the job — and of what she… Continue reading Calm in the chaos: inside FRCC’s EMS 1021
Iron Lung Review
This is not an expedition. It is an “Iron Lung” review. Moments before descending into an ocean of blood, a small, bright circle of futuristic technology casts a red-tinged light into the dingy, cramped interior of the dilapidated SM-13 submarine. Having just seen two colleagues bombarded with a flash of radiation, a dishevelled scientist scowls… Continue reading Iron Lung Review

The crowd held their signs high, along with chanting… Continue reading ICE in schools

It’s been a life-or-death time for all public radio stations with the administration’s… Continue reading Even with a court reprieve, public radio needs the community’s help
