To put it quite simply, this is a thank you letter to the entire college from the Secular Student Community. Without the overwhelming support throughout these past few months, we wouldn’t be where we are now. As a group, we are so grateful for the opportunity to be an organization on campus. When we first…
As I write my final edition of this column, there are a couple of points that I’d be remiss if I didn’t make. For those of you who stuck through with this column until the end, I give you my undying appreciation and thanks. While I may spend much of my day hopping back and…
This may be delayed because Earth Week will have passed by, but I would like to address our sustainability efforts on campus and perhaps shed some light on this movement as a fellow activist. I do not claim that I am someone who is a better advocate for social justice issues; however, in our ever-present…
April 18 and 19 was a great success for many students, especially due to the diverse presentations at this year’s Celebration of Student Scholarship. Just like other students, we have been looking forward to showcasing our work since we started creating it a few months ago. For our main ceramics project in Art and Environmental…

Immigration reform has been in the news recently, principally in relation to an emerging consensus in Congress over a comprehensive overhaul that will touch everything from the contentious issue of border security to expanding the number of visas for highly skilled workers in technical fields. Now, although the point of this overhaul is to facilitate…
Where were you on Monday when Boston was rocked with explosions? I was having lunch with someone who was supposed to be watching the marathon with his friends just a few buildings over from where the devices exploded. He’s from Boston but was delayed in flying back home because of our little snowfall on Sunday….
By now, I hope you’ve heard about the Social Media Summit happening this weekend. If you haven’t, it’s beginning in the Centrum on Sunday, April 14, at 1 p.m. Honestly, I’m guessing most of you who are taking the time to read this are already going and already know the value of going. However, we…
It has long been said that the Student Government Association is an irrelevant organization, visible only at election time. For the most part, they are exactly right. There is no point in arguing something that is true more often than not. Of course, many responses could contest such a core-cutting statement, and this largely depends…
