A critique of awareness

Jack Griffiths | Friday, January 20, 2023

Welcome to the second semester of NeuroDivergent! While I know that my final column last semester may have given the impression that I was done as a columnist, I still have the desire to do more deep dives and tell more stories.

The Irish Rover and its discontents

Letter to the Editor | Friday, October 29, 2021

The 2016 presidential election affected this country in profound ways. Some of these effects will become evident in time, but many have already manifested themselves. Regardless of where you fall on the political spectrum, it is hard to deny that polarization defines a large portion of today’s political discourse. The election, however, is not the

Visit a mosque

BridgeND | Thursday, January 26, 2017

We are living in a continually polarized and tumultuous political climate here in the United States, with the recent election only furthering divides among citizens and their differing views on a variety of platforms, including religion. With a lack of facts and communication crossing the aisle from either party, all civil discourse around Islam, extremism,
