I read “Red, White & Royal Blue” by Casey McQuiston for the first time the summer before I started college. I couldn’t put it down and it quickly became one of my favorite rom-com books. RWRB explores the romantic relationship between Alex Claremont-Diaz, the first son of the United States, and the Prince of England Henry George Edward James Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor — yes, that is really his name. As two of the world’s most prominent political figures, Alex and Henry must balance their growing love for each other with their responsibilities to their countries. Although there are many reasons to love “Red, White & Royal Blue,” some of my favorite aspects include the adorable emails that the two main characters exchange, the development of sibling relationships, and the mandatory happy ending that all good, fun rom-coms must have.

In the midst of the ongoing violence between Israel and Hamas, the Schusterman Center for Israel Studies organized an event titled “Teach-In: War in Israel, Reflections from Brandeis Faculty.” Featuring esteemed members of Brandeis faculty, the event aimed to provide intellectual insight and scholarly perspectives on the complex dynamics surrounding the conflict, offering the Brandeis community a platform to navigate the challenging discussions surrounding the war.

In an unprecedented act of violence, Hamas terrorists breached the border wall between Israel and Gaza on Oct. 7, infiltrated neighboring towns, killed 1,300 civilians, and took 150 hostages. The attack caught Israel by surprise and triggered one of the most devastating waves of violence that the region has seen in decades, and the Brandeis community has suffered a heartbreaking loss as a result of the war. Brandeis Prof. Emeritus Ilan Troen (NEJS) lost his daughter and son-in-law, Deborah and Shlomi Matias, who were killed while shielding their 16-year-old son, Rotem, from Hamas terrorists. During the initial series of attacks that triggered the subsequent war, Hamas terrorists entered the Matias home in Holit, a kibbutz (a collective community) near the Gaza border, and unleashed gunfire on the family.

As a young Black woman who loves engaging with and consuming all kinds of media, I strive to find stories that reflect my identity and interests and tell amazing stories in powerful ways. Often within Black media in particular it can become cacophonous to see the same stories repeated — the films about slavery or the Civil Rights Movement that are only really showcased during Black History Month. I would be remiss to not express and acknowledge that these stories are important and necessary to talk about. These stories need to be told and remembered in order to educate and inspire us to create a better future. It is also important to recognize that these stories do not define us, but rather are part of our shared history.

Speeches from inductees at the Brandeis Athletics Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on Saturday night did not disappoint, ranging from pure emotion and gratitude to rousing nostalgia. Alumni, staff, and student-athletes gathered in the Faculty Club to celebrate the individual inductees and the 1999 Brandeis baseball team induction.

As a humanities student, I tend to be in classes that are mostly female students, particularly in my journalism courses. On one hand, I feel a sense of empowerment in that there are individuals like myself who are interested in and want to be involved in the journalism sphere. However, it also makes me wonder about the newsroom dynamics in our contemporary society. How are women being represented in the journalism sphere? How does the media capture this perspective?

But on top of her school workload, she’s also the owner and manager of Angel Tea, a beautiful, brightly-lit restaurant and tea shop on Moody and Taylor.

It seems as though most of us spent our summer doing internships, working, or trying to relax before getting back into the groove of all-nighters, exams, and papers. If you know me, I love to find new films, especially at the intersection of music and poetry. I rewatched several of my favorite films like “Hidden Figures” and some cute Pixar comfort movies, but I enjoyed watching “On the Come Up” the most. I initially read the book “On the Come Up” by Angie Thomas last summer, but I was beyond excited when I heard it was being turned into a film, specifically as Sanaa Lathan’s directorial debut.

Now that “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” — a show based off the book series by Jenny Han — is on hiatus, it’s time to debate: which brother is best? The show centers around Isabel “Belly” Conklin and two brothers, Conrad and Jeremiah Fisher, between whom she has to choose. It’s great, it’s messy, and it’s endlessly entertaining, but it also garners very, very strong opinions, mostly concerning which brother is the best for Belly.

The parking lot behind 234 Moody Street may, at first glance, appear completely ordinary. But on Saturdays, the empty lot takes on a life of its own, filled with a variety of hard-to-resist, homemade products representing cultures from all around the world — and all around Waltham. The event is known as the Waltham Farmers Market — a weekly, highly anticipated affair that has occurred every week from June to October since its founding in 1991.

The Justice: What drew you to Brandeis?

Brandeis’ shuttle service, colloquially referred to as the BranVan, has seen its fair share of modifications following last November’s devastating shuttle crash. Joseph’s Transportation is out, replaced by DPV Transportation, a New England ground transportation service. The student-run campus and Waltham shuttles, however, saw an even more drastic change at the beginning of the semester: they are no longer running. As a result, nearly all the shuttle service’s student employees — a reported total of 40 drivers, coordinators and supervisors, according to chief of Public Safety Matthew Rushton — found themselves out of a job.
