“‘This is a really big and exciting thing for our club that we do every single year. It’s a great way to get everyone together, and specifically everyone that celebrates a certain holiday, even if they don’t get to celebrate at home.

“When we learn about new perspectives, even the ones we don’t agree with, we come up with new ideas. We discover how others’ lived experiences differ from our own. We learn how to help each other and we become more receptive to compromise and a happy medium.” - The Whit Staff

“Words can’t describe how proud I am of this team and this group of guys,” Cleary said. “Especially with this being my last year. I woke up this morning and I thought this could be my last game. Then, after a couple minutes and hours of thinking I was thinking there was no way it was going to be my last. I’m just happy to play more soccer with the boys.” - Ryan Cleary, Senior Captain ()

The number for the state’s Air Quality Hotline is (800) 535- 1345.” - Anthony Coccaro & Abigail Twiford

“For Allison Hillman, a senior communication studies major, she found reproductive rights to be an important issue that voters should consider during the election season.
‘I know that I would like my rights to be protected, for example, I take birth control and I’ve taken birth control since I was sixteen years old,’ said Hillman. ‘So the fact that if a certain candidate gets into office and he’s threatening to take away access to that stuff, it does scare me because I rely on that every day.’” - Allison Hillman, senior communications studies major at Rowan

“Leshowitz said that understanding Shakespeare’s language was challenging at first but when she delved deeper into the script and started practicing her lines she began to understand it better.
Alexandre and Leshowitz take inspiration from anything they find. It could be someone telling a story a certain way, or how their peers would perform a certain role, that helps them improve their skills.” - Dylan Francis

“I drew it in this class, [Ohanian’s class], and then someone came in and picked it for Savitz,” Ditzel said. “I didn’t know if it was going to be hung up or not. It was a three-day drawing that we did from a picture that we either took here or a picture we had from before, and I think the possibility of it being hung in Savitz made me work a little harder on it and pay more attention to detail.” - Chloe Ditzel, studio art major

“So Trump won, again. Not only does this mean he is now president, but he also just won over the very system that has been trying to hold him accountable for the 34 felony counts he was convicted over. I find it vital to remind you that the same man was also accused of ra**ng, nonconsensually kissing, groping, walking in on teenage pageant contestants, etc. Among these was the E. Jean Carroll case where Donald Trump was found civilly liable for ra**ng her in a dressing room. All of which he has, of course, denied.” - Sophia Fandino, Opinion Editor ()

“‘Sharing that excitement with my parents when I came in was fun,’ Guerra said. ‘It was a good day, I was really happy and my parents were really happy… I was more excited to win as a team than individually. As a team, overall this is what we wanted. Celebrating with the team, and jumping up and down made it one of the most memorable moments of my cross-country career.’” - Mia Guerra, Senior ()
