Private music lessons for students have been suspended for fall 2025. Instructors received news of the suspension in July, and students were notified in August.

As counterintuitive as it may sound, protest, revolt and revolution are embedded in American culture. Our very country was founded on the American Revolution, with radical acts like the Boston Tea Party celebrated by our founding fathers. Suffragists endured hunger strikes and prison sentences just so women could secure the right to vote. Civil rights leaders organized bus boycotts so effectively that the very legislation surrounding them changed. Disability activists staged sit-ins in politicians’ offices for weeks on end to advocate for laws protecting disabled people. These acts of resistance are now remembered as honorable acts of courage, necessary for the development of our country. That same support, however, has not been extended to modern movements.
As a native Texan, I’ve spent my fair share of time at Christian overnight camps, where many of my former bunkmates gradually shifted their summer plans from Bible study and kayaking to religious mission trips.

They often capitalize upon South American communities and exploit their interactions with children to garner empathy and praise from their peers without the consent of the families they work with.

Depop was once imagined as the future of sustainable fashion.

Its design looked more like Instagram than eBay, and that was the point. Shopping on Depop felt less like scrolling through dusty thrift store racks in a Goodwill or Savers and more like browsing someone’s curated Pinterest board. For a generation raised primarily on social media, it offered a way to shop that felt authentic, personal and, most importantly, socially conscious.
In many a school auditorium, a theater kid could be spotted sitting cross-legged with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, surrounded by peers who had just belted their way through the entire Hamilton soundtrack. Between bites, they sipped water to preserve their voices, already preparing for the next reprise.
As fall begins its descent on the Hill, pumpkin spice everything and cozy knit sweaters accompany the perpetual change in scenery that beckons the need to take a picture of every angle of Tufts campus. The quintessential New England autumn is characterized by vibrant hues of reds, oranges and yellows, adding a richness of colors that researchers have actually found to improve physiological stress recovery and emotional ratings. But, how are these leaves able to transform into the iconic colors of fall we know to recognize with the season?

Just this past week, conservative organizer and internet personality Charlie Kirk was shot and killed at Utah Valley University while holding a political event.
