Seth Adams, professor of Biology at Western State College from 1968 to 1998, passed away on September 18, 2017 at his home in Gunnison at the age of 85.

Adams was born in 1931 on a cotton farm in Hamlin, Texas. After graduating from high school there, he went to Abilene Christian University in Abilene, Texas on a football scholarship. After two years at Abilene Christian, he transferred to Eastern New Mexico University and played his final two years of football there.

Celluloid Cinema is a screening series put on by Mountaineer Media, a Film Studies co-curricular.

Western’s Program Council is a group of students who come together to plan events.

This year, they've hired Adam Parks and Spencer Shiplett as tech coordinators, Liz Beggs as marketing coordinator, Jae Seurer as event coordinator and Katelyn Swartz as publicity coordinator.

The Hurst Quad and Quigley Band Shell were filled with students eager to learn how to fly fish, students who have been fly fishing for years and even a few who just stopped by for free hot dogs and live entertainment. Along with traditional hot dogs and hamburgers, the BBQ also featured wild-caught geese, a big hit. Club officers showed new members how to properly fly-cast rods (which can be rented out from Wilderness Pursuits) on the Hurst quad.
