Rep(-presenting) Eco-Reps

November 16

What exactly is an Eco-Rep, you ask? Is it a graphic tee that allows you to represent your town's local ecology? A traits list that expresses your environmental reputation (loves trees, doesn't always turn off the lights when leaving a room, avoids buying pre-packaged foods)? Better. Eco-Reps is a program for those of you interested in how human-induced changes to the environment affect modern society, for those of you who want to expand your environmental knowledge and enforce change.

New program helps diners manage habits

November 12

It's the open block on a Monday, and it seems every student on campus is eating at the same dining hall. It's as if the students there need forever to decide whether they want a sandwich or a salad, ranch dressing or red wine vinaigrette, chicken or tofu. With a new, student-run online initiative, Tufts Dining Services hopes to render making healthy eating decisions like these much easier.

Black solidarity in the Obama age

November 9

The recent Daily op-ed regarding Black Solidarity Day and my keynote speech provides an important opportunity for fostering dialogue around race relations on campus and nationally.

A response to 'TCU senators should set example for Tufts students'

November 9

Leadership is a learning process, challenging students to mature and grow throughout their terms. Early into my own growing process, I erred and acted irresponsibly during the school year's first Senior Pub Night. Please know that the very next day, I voluntarily met and spoke with multiple administrators and students that were involved in the planning of the pub night and that are involved in the larger discussion regarding alcohol on campus. I apologized to them all, and each one accepted my apology and happily continues to work with me in order to improve the alcohol policy here at Tufts. I did not apologize to the student body at large because I thought that such an apology would be inappropriate and unwarranted.
