"So, as the spring semester progressed, I found myself packing to move into my 'home away from home.'"
"You’re not becoming an engineer or a doctor — not one worth trusting, at least, because those jobs have requirements for a reason. All you’re learning is how to convince the chatbot to give you answers that sound correct enough."
"As a now-sophomore, I consider my first-year experience to be one of the most influential times of my life, and I genuinely wouldn’t change it for the world."
"During my time at Miami University, the most important thing I’ve learned is the importance of speaking up. The transition to college can feel insurmountable, especially in a sea of thousands of students, but it gets a lot less scary if you remember to extend a simple, 'Hi.'"
"The Faculty Alliance of Miami (FAM), the union representing nearly 800 full-time continuing faculty and librarians, is fighting for reasonable protections, including a stipulation that faculty cannot be replaced by AI. The administration is refusing to agree even to these minimal protections."
"Instead, I wrote to communicate. As part of that, I sometimes crafted elaborate short stories. I’ve always loved writing and have always excelled at it."
"Williams is still bustling with activity, arguably more than ever. Its faculty and students have already seen the writing on the wall, and as a result, decided to leave their own."
"These people are why I write. Even a stranger in the street gives me reason to write. No matter how small, I know words on a page will impact somebody, somewhere."
"I often see community issues that are important to me going unnoticed by students. I try to showcase the parts of Oxford that extend beyond High Street."
"I absolutely love getting to touch base with my team each month, reading about all of our fun upcoming campus opportunities and brainstorming ways to get students and staff to care about what we do."
"With junior status, I registered for this upcoming fall semester on April 21 at 7 a.m. The honors first-year students had already registered on April 9, along with the rest of the honors students."
"I walked into the newsroom expecting a sea of buzzing journalists, hunched over grammatical errors and looming deadlines. What I found instead were students compelled to question, challenge, reveal and urge others willing to listen."
"Required courses for majors should have the easiest access. When the seats are extremely limited or there are not enough sections offered, it adds even more stress to the scheduling process."
"Modern feminism comes across as making any choice and not accepting the consequences. That’s 'the feminist lie.' Women are convinced they can make decisions without long-term impact."
"'It is pretty amazing how a guy like me, who didn’t even want to become a priest, can be taken by the Lord and have so many dreams fulfilled,' Willig said. 'Jesus truly has such a love for us and a great sense of humor.'"
"Artemis II was about people, the astronauts on the spacecraft and the millions who watched them fly to the moon. It was a human mission at its core, a deeply human achievement."
" ... if you allow yourself to fully experience the benefits of an incredible journey through therapeutic art making and art therapy, there’s no limit to what you can glean from this practice."
"Most of the problems that diets and supplements are supposed to solve aren’t problems to begin with. Having acne or not having six-pack abs is normal, not a health defect."
"This isn’t just a women’s issue, it’s a community issue. When women are paid less, it affects entire families."
