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.

By Jordan Harrington EASTON - Stonehill College’s DECA chapter might only look like a team of students presenting case studies and studying for exams, but behind all that is a high-stakes effort to raise around $30,000 before nationals in April. This year, all 28 DECA students qualified at the state level and now can compete at nationals in Kentucky, Meredith Morse, DECA president, said. “DECA competitions are built around case studies that span a variety of business topics,

By Annie Renz The blizzard of ‘26 interrupted most of Stonehill’s operations and halted varsity athletes’ lifts, practices, and games. The Sports Complex locked its doors to all athletes, including the teams that are in-season and, for some, preparing for upcoming playoff games. “Sundays are always our off days, so not practicing for three days heading into round one of the playoffs was a little nerve-wracking, but we also made sure to take advantage of the three days of

By Trinity Agosta Humans never stop building wonders; we’ve only changed what they look like. The pyramids were not practical in the short term, the Hanging Gardens didn’t solve hunger, and cathedrals didn’t end disease.

Today, those wonders don’t tower over deserts or cities like the pyramids or the hanging
By LilyBelle Cogliano Before I begin, this article should be taken with a grain of salt for those who might take offense. However, if you find yourself deeply offended, I encourage perhaps a brief moment of self-reflection. I’ve decided to step up as an official spokesperson for the slow-walking community.
