    The Craft of Creativity within the Honors College 

    By Mia Bonifazi  An old rumor lingers in the minds of all students: education destroys creativity.

    Balancing 11:59 and Nine-To-Five: The Student Worker Experience

    By Davis McClure To no one’s surprise, college students are often exhausted. But what’s the story behind the clutched energy drinks and baggy eyes staring vacantly in lectures? Some of them await a night shift after class, while some never go to sleep the night before. Balancing work and school is a challenge many students…

    The rise of AI, Start-Ups and the Modern Get-Rich-Quick Scheme

    By Mia Bonifazi Nothing is more American than a rags-to-riches story: nobody becoming somebody through hard work, tying their bootstraps tight and moving on even when the going gets rough. And, as a result, just as American is the all-too-infamous Ponzi scheme or Get-Rich-Quick scheme, where oftentimes a mysterious, charming figure swindles those simply trying…

    Performative Men: Who Hung the Stage Lights?

    By Davis McClure Early one morning, a barista yelled out “Strawberry matcha!” over a rustling crowd of students, many running late to class. A tote bag on one arm, with Clairo blaring through his wired headphones, an allegedly-six-foot-two man made his way to the counter to retrieve his order. He went about his day as…

  • Taken Hostage by ‘the Game’:  Forced Criminality and a Trafficking Survivor’s Struggle to Clear Her Record 

    By Aaron Klahr Human trafficking is commonly referred to as “the game” — a game where the victim plays but never wins.
