    Should we be worried about climate change?

    Yes, we should be worried about climate change. It seems as if there are more and more natural disasters occurring because of it.

We need to take major action to do whatever […]

I constructed an ornament with driftwood and sea glass and other beach findings. I added some battery-powered lights to it, which cast colorful rays from the beach glass. It is still treasured to this day by […]

    Security issues on campus have recently raised concerns among some students at WCC.
