Women's Soccer Recap | Women's soccer made history in 2005

May 22

At the start of the 2005 fall season, nobody really had any clear idea of what was in store for the women's soccer team over the next three months. In the end, all doubts were put to rest, as the Jumbos compiled one of the best regular-season records to date and made a run to the NCAA National Semifinals as part of a season that firmly established Tufts soccer as a premier program in the nation.

Ben Swasey | From Way Down Town

May 22

As today is both a celebration of past accomplishments and a time of nostalgia for a large group of people born in the 1980s, it is only fitting to look back at this era to see how much, or how little, the sports world has changed during the lives of our graduates.

Kristy Cunningham | Out of Thin Air

May 22

Now, I know most commencement columns will focus on the nostalgia generated by graduation's stark reality. This one is no exception. But after trying to sniffle my way through a whole laundry list of abysmally sappy send-offs, this final installment of Out of Thin Air will do its best not to leave you, graduating reader, reaching for the tissues.

Commencement. This is a time when all of us look forward to the future and try to find answers to questions like: will I get a job? Did I make the most of my time here? Was stealing all those cereal bowls from Dewick really worth it?

Career Services should engage, not just prepare

May 22

Most Tufts seniors experience some degree of anxiety during their job searches, and many turn to Career Services for guidance and advice. Career Services provides some great resources to students: Resume workshops can be incredibly instructive; e-recruiting and the Tufts Alumni Network can be invaluable to those looking to "network"; and the career fairs are especially helpful in opening doors for students in engineering and economics.

Men's Basketball: The Jumbos' drive to the Sweet 16 capped a two-year turnaround from an abysmal 8-17 mark in 2003-2004.

May 22

As your time at Tufts comes to a close, heart-wrenching goodbyes undermine Commencement Day festivities. With your parents merrily taking pictures in the background, one question looms in your head: No, not, "Will they change the exercise room back into my bedroom?" but rather, "Where am I going to take my family for food?"

2004-2005

May 22

The year started off with a political bang, as election frenzy gripped the Tufts campus. It was the first chance for many of us to vote in a presidential election, but quite a few of us were turned off by the non-stop mudslinging. Political Science Professor Jeffrey Berry told the Daily at the end of October, however, that "campaign attacks are part of American politics ... it goes way back, and I'm not sure it's been any more gruesome than it usually is."
