By Annie Renz The fall season is underway for club sports on campus. For captains Noah Sands of Men’s Soccer, Ciara O’Connell of Women’s Soccer, Will Bramanti of Men’s Basketball, and Jake Powers of Baseball, playing a club sport has made a profound impact on their time at Stonehill, and they could not recommend this part of the college experience enough.

Feeding the masses

By Aurora Ferreira Only three workers of the nearly 100 employees braved the blizzard to come to campus to help feed students, scrambling to find ways to feed as many as possible quickly. Commons Culinary Supervisor Alana Burr, one of the three workers on campus during the nor’easter, and one of the two workers in the kitchen, said they worked hard to feed everyone. “We did the best we could with whoever showed up, which ended up being only two of us in the kitchen.

Today, those wonders don’t tower over deserts or cities like the pyramids or the hanging
