Over winter break, universities all over the country urged their international students to return as soon as possible, preempting the possibility of travel bans or visa freezes under the Trump presidency. Similarly, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals applicants have returned to Grounds with a renewed concern about their legal status in the country. President Donald Trump has taken drastic measures since assuming office, including threatening to deport students who criticize Israel and flaunting the prospect of sending immigration enforcement officers to schools. Thus, the fear — and the need to plan around the possibility of deportation — is real for noncitizen students at the University. As difficult as the uncertainty may be, the University administration and student government must reassess their policies to protect any students on Grounds.

With show-stopping performances, well-deserved wins and an overall positive energy gracing the room, the night left online users saying “we are so back” after a few years of less than stellar Grammys.
The University Transit Service has made recent efforts to improve bus safety and enhance accessibility for UTS OnDemand, a free van service that shuttles University community members between locations after bus hours end. Goals for this initiative include increasing the accuracy of wait times and increasing the number of buses running throughout the day.

From the St. Patrick's Day Ginger Run on Mad Bowl to the dorm-wide scream before quiet hours go into effect for finals season, Grounds has seen its fair share of unique, student-led events. In true University fashion, students will have another opportunity to partake in a similar type of unconventional school spirit, and to share a laugh, when South Lawn becomes the site of another offbeat affair — a Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan look-alike contest.
