Welcome back Hopkins faithful to another week of Hopkins Sports in Review! Both men's and women’s track and field competed at the Navy Outdoor Invitational, putting up strong performances. Baseball stayed hot, winning three games in the week, two via mercy rule, while Men’s Lacrosse dropped a heartbreaker to Rutgers in overtime. Here’s everything you need to know about Hopkins sports in the past week:
Art exhibitions, immersive history and neighborhood food tours shape this weekend’s lineup. Visit galleries in Towson and Baltimore, explore a Titanic-themed installation or join a guided tasting through local neighborhoods. Sunday ends with an Easter brunch and live music.
Spring shows up across this weekend’s lineup with events centered on culture, history and community. Learn about the roots of everyday drinks, explore a new exhibition on the Key Bridge and make Orioles-themed crafts ahead of Opening Day. You can also take a train to Washington, D.C. for a cherry blossom festival or hear a talk on the science behind friendship.
With March wrapping up and April starting, spring is steadily ahead of us. The warming weather presents the perfect opportunity for a break between grueling midterms or other obligations. What’s better than reading in the sun or walking to a show when it's 70 degrees outside? We hope you can enjoy these recommendations from the Arts Section as the new season starts!
As the season of midterms comes to an end, the season of growth begins, and spring arrives with its full force of beauty. Whether you’re going through the peak of your midterms now or already out enjoying the spring weather, hopefully you’ll be able to find some time to enjoy these picks from the Arts section!
Yes, it’s almost break. No, that doesn't mean Hopkins sports stop because everyone has lots of midterms coming up. This week's edition is full of exciting action, surprises, mild disappointments and championships. But, Hopkins sports faithful, we’re here for you with the rundown.
This weekend highlights Baltimore’s creative scene across music, literature and the performing arts. From jazz sets and poetry readings to student showcases and opera, the lineup moves between intimate performances and larger cultural events throughout the city. Whether you are settling into a listening room, a museum gallery or a concert hall, the weekend offers plenty of ways to step off campus and into Baltimore’s arts community.
It feels as if spring is flying by before the spring weather truly arrives. But now, with the first signs of sun, one can slow down to appreciate the pleasant weather, even if it’s not possible right now to slow down in classes (or appreciate them). To help you reach calm in at least some facets of your life, the Arts section presents our weekly picks for new media releases, beginning with my personal recommendations.
Take a few minutes to catch up on some intriguing recent scientific developments.
The last weekend of February leans heavily into live music across Baltimore, with jazz, experimental performance and candlelit concerts setting the tone. From international festival lineups and genre-bending multimedia shows to local celebrations of craft cocktails and classic ‘90s hits, the weekend moves easily from intimate listening rooms to high-energy nights out. Whether you are settling into a concert hall or heading downtown after dark, there are plenty of ways to close out the month beyond campus.
Whether or not you had an eventful or ordinary month, the last week of February is an uplifting time with the promise of March and warmer weather ahead. Before spring can get started, you may be struggling to push through the last bits of remaining snow or chilly wind. If that’s the case, we have some media recommendations to help you persevere through this midway point of the semester.
The snow is melting, the fields are cleared and the weather is warming up. All three of these factors point to one conclusion: You should go attend a Hopkins sports game! If you need any more convincing, here are the rundowns of how some of our teams did in the past week. Embrace the hype and go support.
In the aftermath of Valentine’s Day, there is much preparation to be done for the coming year. The snow is melting as the weather warms up for springtime, and although Punxsutawney Phil cast a different omen for us, we’re beginning to see the grass again. If you celebrate Lunar New Year, look forward to the prosperous Year of the Horse and the influx of red envelope stimulus checks! Maybe you’re spending this week single and recovering from the onslaught of cute couples’ posts. Maybe you’re hunkering down for a week of midterms. Maybe you’re procrastinating calling your parents back home. Regardless of what it is you’re looking for, this week’s To Watch and Watch For has something for you.
As the year prepares to take off, let’s take a moment to reflect on the scientific discoveries that have already made it so special.
Hopkins Sports in Review (Feb. 2–8)
It’s that time of the year. You’re either counting down until The Day arrives, you’re dreading it or you have complicated feelings. Valentine’s Day is not for the weak of heart. Whether you’re spending this Valentine’s with a significant other, platonic or familial relations, or by yourself, the Arts section has the latest installment of To Watch and Watch For, guaranteed to hold media picks that will either enhance your experience with someone else or at least distract you from a double-edged holiday. If you’re lost for where to begin, here are my personal favorites:
Valentine’s Day weekend shows up in a lot of forms this year. Some events lean into love and heartbreak head-on, others take a more offbeat or low-pressure approach and a few have nothing to do with romance at all. From awkward diary confessions and science after dark to opera, maple syrup and tattoo fundraisers, the weekend lineup leaves plenty of room to celebrate, avoid or completely redefine Valentine’s Day on your own terms.
With the semester finally running on a normal schedule after weeks broken up by holidays and snow, this weekend feels like the first real pause since winter break ended. The lineup reflects that shift, offering a mix of campus traditions, city staples and easy plans that fit somewhere between catching your breath and getting back into a routine.
The first week of February is cold but promising; students are regaining their academic footing as the spring semester starts, and others are looking forward to the warmth the rest of the month will bring as Valentine’s Day approaches. Regardless of your relationship status, if you’re seeking any form of comfort from the harsh snow and wind this week, we have media recommendations for you to sink your senses in.
Between the canceled classes and the biting chill, this second week back has been a bit of a frozen blur. While there was hope for "Reduced Operations" to last through Friday, the reopening on Wednesday meant a quick return to the grind and a lot of effort spent avoiding black ice. With the forecast promising more snow, leaning into the reality of the weather feels like the best move. Instead of trying to power through, the focus is on staying warm, keeping things low-effort and finding a genuine reason to enjoy being stuck indoors.
