St. George Museum of Art honors life, legacy with Día de los Muertos

Imagine a day when your ancestors are honored with an extra meal at the table, a setting with portraits of parents, grandparents, siblings and children.

OPINION | School spirit is dying — Utah Tech isn’t immune

Over the last few years, the joy of walking through your college campus wearing the latest university logo-stamped hoodie and cap, excited over last night’s big game, has been dwindling.

OPINION | From chai to cold brew: St. George’s best coffee shops ranked

Let’s face it: not all drink shops are built the same. Many serve strong, rich coffees with creative twists and specialty flavors. Others offer flavor packed and perfectly balanced teas. But some wouldn’t know a London fog from an Earl Grey. As a lover of all things coffee and tea, I’ve been on the hunt […]

OPINION | St. George welcomes tourists, families — but not students

When you think of St. George, what comes to mind? Is it the Mars-like red rocks? The rock climbing or running scenes? Perhaps the “never-ending” summers? If so, you’re far from alone.
