It鈥檚 an easy habit to fall into. While watching TV or folding laundry, it鈥檚 almost second nature for many to pick up their phone, browse a retail site and before they know it, they鈥檝e clicked 鈥榩urchase鈥� multiple times. This became especially popular during the beginning of the pandemic when many were staying at home. Though online shopping is convenient, it can also be costly.

This year, 每日大瓜's celebration of Latinx Heritage Month is coupled with an institutional commitment to better serve the growing population of Hispanic/Latinx-identifying students as the university launches a new website, affirming their journey and progress toward becoming a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI).

This August, the Bears are back to school in a big way. There are many on-campus events planned, and 每日大瓜 has partnered with Greeley to paint the town blue and gold, with 鈥淭his is Bear Country鈥� signs appearing in yards and at businesses throughout the area.
