In a single fluid motion that happens before I can even process being conscious, I reach for my phone, open Gmail, rip past the emails I actually need to reply to and blast GatorHub straight into the trash with all the power and precision of a Serena Williams serve. I don’t even open the message.

There’s a new step I’ve added to my morning routine. It’s outrageously efficient, deeply cathartic and fills me with enough wild exasperation that I jump out of bed wide awake, ready to tackle the disappointments of yet another day. It’s called “deleting the GatorHub email.” In a single ...

Adjusting to life in a new country and the idea of studying abroad can be exciting, but it also comes with invisible challenges. For international and exchange students at Allegheny College, the academic pressure, cultural adjustment, language barriers and homesickness can create an emotional burden that is often overlooked. Mental health as an essential aspect of human rights becomes even more uncertain when students feel isolated in a new community far from home.

Groggy, still laying in bed and blearily blinking at their laptops, dozens of students across campus eagerly awaited for the clock to strike 7:30 a.m. It was the morning of Monday, Nov. 10: the first day of class registration for the spring 2026 semester. But when mid-hour arrived and students who had landed in the coveted first registration slot rushed to click the “Register Now” button on Self-Service, error messages crowded their screens. None of them were eligible to register for classes, and each thought the problem was unique to them.

“Leave No Crumbs” was established several years ago by Life Design Director Natalie Brown, who served previously as director of the Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Access & Social Justice Center before it was folded into the new Life Design Lab in fall 2025. When Brown started working at the college in June 2023, she wanted students to take advantage of the resources they have in college so they can reach their desired career path. The name of the “Leave No Crumbs” dinner is a reference to a conversation Brown had with a student, in which she advised them to “leave no crumbs” behind during their time in college. Brown said she hopes that this event will allow students to grow their career experiences.

As the semester accelerates towards its final weeks, Parkhurst is dishing out carrots, peas and pleas for students to return greenboxes and the McKinley’s Food Court reusable dishes. For several weeks, Parkhurst reverted to using single-use cardboard trays, paper bowls and plastic cups in McKinley’s, and it has not been uncommon for students to be greeted with a hand-written “No greenboxes” sign taped to the McKinley’s register.
