BRAVE aims to prevent sexual abuse

Millennial Moment
Natalie King Publisher Instagram is an alternate universe of pictures, quotes and other rather useless bits of information we millennials likely scroll through 50 times per day. I would argue that almost anyone who is an active Instagrammer has experienced the awkward encounter of seeing someone you only know via social media in public. To those of an older generation, this would likely not be … Continue reading Millennial Moment
My weekend at Bernie’s
Spencer Schneier News Editor n Sunday, Bernie Sanders delivered a speech at the Greensboro Coliseum to a crowd of over 9,000 people, outlining his platform in a passionate speech touching on things from racial inequality to health care reform.

We will never forget….
Emily Bruzzo Editor-in-Chief I’d never seen that look in my dad’s eyes before. He’d always been so stoic. It was a foreign look. It was fear; it was pain; it was anger; it was confusion; it was awe; it was reverence. And he didn’t hide the look from me.
