I am approaching my impending graduation with the sort of aloofness that is probably more appropriate for an impending visit to the DMV. Because I am slated to begin law school this fall, my mind is already wrapped up in basic practical issues related to this important transition in my life and also in figuring…
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.

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…
