The Hopkins Student Involvement Fair is overwhelming to say the least. It’s stuffy, you are elbowing your way through dozens of people and it seems like there is no end. By the 30-minute mark, the exhaustion hits and the clubs slowly become a blur. The point is, it is exhausting to find an organization where you belong, a club that is entirely unique. In this respect, the Dunbar Baldwin Hughes (DBH) Theatre Company sets itself apart from many.
There’s something special about the excitement of a theater minutes before the lights go down. People are flipping through the programs or chatting with their friends, and theater group members are doing their last checks and preparations before showtime. You can never know for sure exactly what kind of show you’re going to be in for. For my part, I didn’t have any clue, beyond the names of the plays: Uncomfortable Spotlights, The Curse of Having a Big Heart, The Whip-Poor-Will and Angelus Mortis.
In light of Max Verstappen claiming his third consecutive World Driver’s Championship (WDC) in last weekend’s race at the Qatar Grand Prix, join us for a recap of the 2023 season. Though the Charging Bulls’ dominance may be the headline story, this year has brought us mid-season driver swaps, epidemic dehydration and even lizards on the race track.
Whenever I told people I was studying abroad, I felt like I was lying. I felt as if I hadn’t done anything to deserve such a rare once-in-a-lifetime experience — the kind most people don’t get.
After an embarrassing venture in written poetry, with such insightful lines as, “There are two types of women in this world / women who like giving head and women who I don’t like,” Adonis’ favorite rapper and Grammy Award-winning artist Aubrey Graham (aka Drake) is back in full form.
Hasan Minhaj’s popularity has largely stemmed from his ability to tell jarring truths about being Muslim-American in humorous tones. Heartbreaking realities are much more palatable, especially for non-brown audiences, when told flippantly. It has been well documented throughout history that comedy is a form of social commentary. However, it is clear that some of the Minhaj’s tales that spark chuckles are often only ostensibly true.
Hopkins Athletics was awarded the 2022-23 Learfield Directors' Cup for the first time in school history after scoring in 19 total sports, of which 14 teams boasted top-10 finishes. The D-III cup was secured by Hopkins with a total of 1,282 points, which was over 100 more points than second-place Tufts University.
Milton S. Eisenhower (MSE) Library is slated for a complete renovation beginning in summer 2024. As the University’s principal research library since 1964, MSE has only had minor updates over the years. The MSE Modernization Project, which will encompass the approximately 182,000-square-foot library, will have an estimated cost of $100 million and is expected to take two and a half years.
So what now? On Tuesday, Oct. 3, Kevin McCarthy was removed as Speaker of the House of Representatives in a 216-210 vote, with eight Republicans joining all Democrats in voting to vacate the office. He is the first Speaker to have been voted out of office during a legislative session. Now, the House must enter a new, likely protracted, voting process to determine who the replacement Speaker will be.
As an international student, I had always heard about the hype around Trader Joe’s, but only recently have I had the opportunity to dive in. This year, I switched my weekly shopping location from the Giant Food on W 41st Street to the Trader Joe’s on Kenilworth Drive in Towson. Though I do have to pay for a rideshare service, as it’s outside of the limits of the Blue Jay Shuttle, my total bill is still much lower than what I used to pay at Giant Food. More importantly, the quality of food is better, and the options are so much more exciting, too.
The ninth-ranked Hopkins volleyball team took to the road for a Centennial Conference matchup against the Gettysburg College Bullets on the night of Wednesday, Oct. 4.

For many of us, this past week was marked by late nights studying for midterms and catching up on work in Brody Learning Commons. Yet, for the global scientific community, it was marked by the announcements of the 2023 Nobel Prizes! Given annually since 1901 by the Royal Swedish Academy Of Sciences, Norwegian Nobel Committee, Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet and Swedish Academy, the Nobel Prizes seek to reward discoveries that have profoundly advanced human knowledge or accomplishment in the fields of physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, peace and economic sciences.
My grandpa is the most disciplined 92-year-old I’ve ever met.
In a groundbreaking development, a team of Hopkins researchers has unveiled an innovation in HIV therapy that promises to transform the lives of individuals with the virus.

Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute Renee Brady shared insights on using minimally invasive biomarkers to predict treatment responses. The talk shed light on using dynamics of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) as alternative treatment strategies, ultimately contributing to the reduction of cancer health disparities. Her team’s research findings were recently published in Clinical Cancer Research.
