The Scribe (UCCS Student Newspaper)
Newspaper,
Online/Digital
The Scribe is the oldest organization at UCCS; it was founded in 1966 to inform students at the university of happenings around campus. Although The Scribe has a rich history filled with changes and advancements, our mission as a publication for the students of UCCS has persisted.
The Scribe transitioned from a weekly print publication to a daily virtual publication during the COVID-19 pandemic. We now publish content on both platforms: on our website daily and in print. Articles and other content are also promoted on various social media platforms. Our online readership has become an important aspect of our organization as we modernize how we reach students.
We pride ourselves on being the voice of the university: a voice that is from students, for students. Since we are a student-run organization, our content is driven by the perspective of the UCCS student. We aim to create content that targets student readership.
As with any newspaper publication or journalism organization, The Scribe adheres to journalistic ethics standards and follows several guiding principles to maintain the integrity of the organization. Source

OPINION | Students will mourn the loss of the Main Hall vines
UCCS isn’t the most traditional college. We’re a commuter school with a fairly small campus, meaning we have to focus on the little things to build a sense of community here. The vines on Main Hall being trimmed beyond recognition is just another piece of campus stability we’ve lost, and students will mourn their absence. The vines have been a campus staple for years now, offering beautiful greenery when in bloom.

Enough is enough; it’s time to rank baseball
Can anyone give me a good reason that baseball is still unranked? Dave Hajek’s squad entered 2026 projected to finish fourth in the RMAC. Yet with just three weeks remaining, they’ve lost only five conference games in conference play, with four of those coming against No.1 nationally ranked Colorado Mesa. The surge is one that no one besides the 44 guys on the roster saw coming, however the 25-12-1 record has not yielded the national attention it deserves.
