By Chelsie Derman | Mar. 31, 2023

Connor Smith, a fall 2018 journalism and professional writing graduate, opened his College email on March 2, only to find that, by April 1, he would be losing his College Google Drive for good. He proceeded to scramble to save all of his important documents — from every college photo to a bunch of articles and projects.

By Alexandra Copeland | Mar. 9, 2023

“A dream is just a nightmare with lipstick,” read senior secondary education and English major Zoe Talbot before a group of attentive professors and students as they listened in awe.

Ewing school threat exposes faults in campus safety

By Chelsie Derman and Tristan Weisenbach | Mar. 6, 2023

Tracy Perron, a full-time nursing professor at the College, spent what she thought was a typical Tuesday morning letting students into the doors of Trenton Hall after the College implemented a swipe-access only protocol to enter all buildings on campus. It wasn’t until hours later that she found out the reasoning behind this surprising move. The night prior, a shooter entered two buildings at Michigan State University where he fired at students hiding within, killing three. After a nights-long manhunt, he was found deceased with a note in his pocket outlining more threats against the public schools located in Ewing, N.J.
