The Women’s Beanpot competition should be held at TD Garden

(03/08/22 11:00am)

On Feb. 8, Harvard beat Boston College in the Women’s Beanpot championship by a score of 5-4. The Beanpot is a competition between four Boston universities’ men’s and women’s hockey teams: Harvard University, Boston College, Boston University, and Northeastern University. However, the women’s championship game was played at Matthews Arena, the home of Northeastern Hockey, and the entirety of the men’s Beanpot competition was played at TD Garden, the home of the Boston Bruins. This is just one example in Boston — and in the nation as a whole — that women’s sports are not as valued or as well-attended compared to men’s sports. 




“Views on the News: The boycott of the Beijing 2022 Olympics”

(02/08/22 1:48pm)

 The United States is diplomatically boycotting the Beijing 2022 Olympics due to concerns of human rights violations in Xinjiang China. Other countries such as India, Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom have followed suit as well. How does this impact international and foreign relations? Will this lead to more division in our global community? What can we do as a Brandeis community to bridge that gap going forward?   


Super Bowl LVI preview

(02/08/22 11:00am)

On Feb. 13, the Cincinnati Bengals will be traveling to SoFi Stadium to play the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LVI. SoFi Stadium is located in Inglewood, California and is home to the Rams. This will be the second consecutive year that a team will be competing for the championship on their home turf. Last year, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers hosted the Kansas City Chiefs at Raymond James Field and produced a monumental win, capturing the recently retired NFL legend Tom Brady’s seventh ring. Prior to the 2020 Super Bowl, no team had ever played for the championship at their home field.

Ferrari’s 2022 challenger, a potential title-winning formula?

(01/25/22 11:00am)

It’s been safe to say that Ferrari has not seen much success in Formula One recently. With their last champion Kimi Räikkönen having retired at the end of the 2021 season, the Formula One grid has lost its last driver who won a championship with the prancing horses all the way back in 2007. The team that once dominated the sport at the hands of seven-time champion Michael Schumacher hasn’t won a drivers’ or constructors’ championship since 2007 and 2008, respectively. Since then, the team has come close to winning a championship — most notably of these almost-victories include Felipe Massa’s in 2008 and Fernando Alonso’s in 2012, both of whom missed out on a championship with Ferrari in the final race of the season.

Atlanta Braves win World Series 4-2

(11/09/21 11:00am)

The Atlanta Braves are the 2021 World Series champions after a 7-0 win against the Houston Astros in Game 6. This was the Braves first World Series title in 26 years, which is also the last time that Atlanta has won a championship in any sport. According to the Braves manager Brian Snitker, “Everybody that’s in the World Series right now is gassed, everybody and both teams, all the players. It’s been a long year.” The Braves returned to Atlanta leading the series 3-2. 



Historical references and James Ming Johnson

(11/02/21 10:00am)

Art-making is rarely a straightforward path. Life itself is full of twists that leave us unsure of where to put our feet next. However, unexpected situations can be just the push someone needs to go for what they desire. When James Ming Johnson joined the Post-Baccalaureate Program in Studio Art at Brandeis University, he had been trying to narrow down his life to its uttermost essentials. For Johnson, this meant getting rid of the preoccupations of the day-to-day to finally find a space — both physical and mental — to nourish his artistic practice. Moving to Massachusetts suburbia, he says, “was a nice change from New York.” Part of Brandeis School of Graduate Arts and Sciences, the Post-Baccalaureate Program gives students the space to grow as artists and develop a portfolio for graduate school admission. The private studios in the Epstein Building offer 24/7 access and a mock-up gallery space where students engage critically with each other’s artworks.



A sport from the wizarding world comes to campus

(10/12/21 10:00am)

It may come as a surprise, but Brandeis has a Quidditch team. Yes, you heard that right — the sport is no longer reserved for the wizarding world of “Harry Potter.” While lacking in witchcraft and wizardry, the University’s team is very real and a welcoming space for anyone who wishes to join. Founded in 2010, The Judges’ Quidditch team is one of many club sports, which are independent and student-run at Brandeis. They play against other universities in the college division of US Quidditch and have previously gone to nationals. Brandeis Quidditch, however, is about more than just playing a sport. It’s about inclusivity, teamwork and — when it comes down to it — having a good time.
