More Notes from Courier Notebook

The front page of the very first issue of The Courier, published on Oct. 10, 1967.

College of DuPage opened for business in the fall of 1967. Just a month after the college’s opening, student journalists launched The Courier on Oct. 10, 1967. The Courier celebrates its 47th year in existence this week.

The top story? No surprise here: parking. Even when COD did not have a permanent campus in 1967, students and staff were already dealing with a lack of parking spaces and traffic jams.

The first issue also featured a photo spread of students lining up for registration, as pictured below.
