When it comes to albums, I unfortunately almost always judge them by their covers. And when it came to Japanese-Canadian star Saya Gray’s debut album SAYA, my judgment did not steer me away. I strongly believe a good album cover should reflect the nature of a record while being visually appealing, and SAYA checks both these boxes. The primary focus of the cover is Gray herself, painted in a traditional Japanese portrait style. However, masterfully woven into this classic aesthetic are striking modern details, like heavy metallic jewelry and a tattoo. Likewise, the album’s tracklist fuses the old (traditional pop-rock acoustic riffs and soft vocals) with the new (electric beats and unconventional instruments).
At some point, I think every student who gets into Hopkins encounters questions along the lines of:
Writing my Voices column has been really therapeutic for me. It’s surprising, because I’m someone who has tried and failed to get into journaling for her whole life, which I’m sure is not a unique experience.

On Friday, March 7, 2025, Stand Up for Science, a volunteer-based operation designed to protest perceived threats to scientific research and funding, gathered outside the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.

On Jan. 21, 2025 the Acting Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Benjamine Huffman announced a directive that schools and religious spaces are no longer protected from immigration law enforcement activities. This directive overturned a 2021 memorandum that stated schools, healthcare facilities, places of worship and social services establishments were protected spaces where immigration law enforcement operations should not be carried out.
On Feb. 20, the Baltimore City Department of Planning’s Urban Design and Architecture Advisory Panel (UDAAP) reviewed plans regarding the Alumni Memorial Residence (AMR) I residence hall renovations.

In the wake of shifting political attitudes towards science, policymaking and advocacy have become critical in guiding the future of science. The Science Policy and Diplomacy Group at Hopkins is an entirely graduate-student-run group aiming to ensure that science and policy remain connected through advocacy, awareness and action.
Across literary circles, Oprah Winfrey’s most recent book club selection Dream State by Hopkins Professor Eric Puchner is abducting fans from the real world, making them miss their subway stops. For me, returning to my dorm from Hodson Hall past midnight, I missed the man in a sandy suit with blonde hair and round glasses waving me down for a lighter. This was perhaps an odd occurrence for the backside of Gilman past midnight, but these things don’t matter when Dream State is on the mind.
