Things are starting to get dicey again. Everyone is talking about it: the radio station I listen to as I drive to work, “JAM’N 94.5, Boston’s #1 for Hip-Hop,”...
“They’re gonna breathe on me!” My mother chuckled as I wailed to her about the lifting of COVID-19 guidelines on campus. I had just finished my most successful semester...

In last week’s edition of the Review, Chair of the Board of Trustees T. Chris Canavan, OC ’84, is quoted as saying, “The board — and I know that [President Carmen Twillie Ambar] shares this view...
This has been one of the most difficult years that many of us have ever experienced, for many reasons: pandemic mitigation measures, illness and death due to COVID-19, ongoing violence against and murder...
A young life lost is a tragedy for all, keenly felt by friends who have to keep moving through a world in which their classmate is strangely, shockingly missing. The need to memorialize those we have lost...

We only agreed to do so to shed light on the nature of our Senate work, and because our early attempts to collaborate with the administration were so disheartening that we cannot simply move on and forget what happened.
