Staying on campus for fall break? As the weather starts to cool, it’s a great weekend to explore what Baltimore has to offer. Comic-Con takes over the Convention Center, runners fill the streets for the city’s annual marathon and things heat up at Spicy Con in Timonium. You can also spend the afternoon at a lecture on Black fashion history or end the weekend with a night of theater as Art makes its debut at Everyman.
I know everyone is eagerly awaiting our two days of freedom from class and the relaxing long weekend it affords us. While we’re all studying into the night for the barrage of exams professors give before break, don’t forget that Hopkins sports teams are still playing and you can take some much needed breaks to catch the excitement. So let’s dive into another week of Hopkins Sports in Review, and remember to continue supporting our teams and show some Blue Jay spirit!
Fall break is on the horizon, and the temperature is finally starting to approach the 50s (in degrees Fahrenheit — that’s around 10 degrees Celsius for all ye non-Americans). In other words, it’s the perfect time to grab a blanket, cozy up and immerse yourself in your new favorite watch, read or album and take the break to explore some of the wonderful live events this week.
As the semester starts to pick up, take a minute and read the latest scientific discoveries that have occurred within the past couple of weeks.
Hello everyone, and welcome to another week of Hopkins Sports in Review! It might be midterm season for all Blue Jays, but for fall sports the Centennial Conference season is well underway. Hopkins teams are vying for seeding in conference tournaments as they hope to claim the Centennial Conference crown. Wins by the women’s soccer and field hockey teams were the big stories this week as they both continue to build on already impressive seasons. Here is everything you need to know about Hopkins Sports this past week:
The first breeze of the fall season has hit campus, foxes are prowling the sidewalks and we (at least most of us) are finally through with the menial duties of midterm exams. The problem with always trying to get things over with is that the other side is rarely ever better, and the relief you craved never really repays the emptiness you felt waiting for it to happen. What will, however, unquestionably make your week better is the Arts & Entertainment section’s reliably brilliant weekly series, To Watch and Watch For! This week, we have a plentiful batch of arts, including a return from a revered hip-hop duo and an exciting underground music live show running all weekend. Check it out below.
The second weekend of October brings a mix of festivals, art and performance to the city. You can start your Friday with a classic whodunit on stage or seasonal brews at the Zoo, then spend Saturday at Fells Point’s waterfront festival or catch the closing day of The Brave at Galerie Myrtis. On Sunday, Opera Baltimore rounds out the weekend with Puccini’s Tosca, a sweeping production of love and betrayal.
The first weekend of October is the perfect time to step into fall and explore the city. Baltimore has something for every mood, from the final night of Rotunda Rocks and the Poe Festival’s gothic flair to an Asian food market on the waterfront, a wine tasting street fest in Harbor East and a film festival taking over The Charles.
Another week, another installment of To Watch and Watch For. With many of the semester’s firsts in a series of nightmarish midterms in our rearview mirrors, everyone deserves a moment to breathe and unwind with some of these exciting new media releases. Where to begin? Well, let me tell you about these personal recommendations from each section.
The last weekend of September is here, and exams are creeping into everyone’s schedules. While some tests are wrapping up and others are just around the corner, there is still plenty of time to carve out a break. Baltimore is buzzing with options: sip wine among dinosaurs at the Science Center, eat your fill of pasta and cannoli in Aberdeen, sample sweets at Harborplace, cheer on pig races in Pigtown or stroll through the Abell Street Fair to close out the weekend.
Welcome back to another week’s To Watch and Watch For. The Hopkins grounds team has done quite the job at raking away the fallen leaves, and just as the trees are slowly turning bare, we must bear with the midterms we find ourselves taking. Now, in the midst of exams, here's to hoping that you can weather the storm and squeeze in a free hour here and there to check out the wide array of media releasing in the upcoming days.
Welcome to another week of Hopkins Sports in Review! By now, we’re in the full swing of the academic year. Things might be busy due to exams, but it’s still the fall sports season and lots of exciting events happened over the past week. From opponents traveling thousands of miles across the world to the games that took place on Homewood Field, the sports teams were full of action.
School is officially back in session! It’s been a couple of weeks since our first day of classes, and so the fall season of Hopkins sports are well underway. The 2024-25 was an immense success for the Blue Jays, as they finished runners up in the DIII Learfield Director’s Cup, only trailing Emory University. Hopefully this season can see continued success across all disciplines, and perhaps a first place finish in the Director’s Cup to make it three in four years! Without further ado, let’s look at some of the action from the beginning of the season…
This week’s installment of To Watch and Watch For comes conveniently before the inevitable onslaught of midterm season. Now is the ideal time to enjoy a packed lineup of film, books, music and live shows before the semester truly kicks in. One way to soften the unstoppable march of time is to slow down, immerse yourself in the arts and appreciate what the world has to offer at the moment. On that note, the Arts & Entertainment section has you covered.
The weather looks warm and sunny, which makes this a good weekend to get out into Baltimore. You can hear improvised sets at High Zero, listen to local bands at Belvedere Square, check out large-scale festivals downtown or spend a quieter afternoon with the new exhibition at the Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA).
Welcome back to another academic year! Let’s kick things off with the latest updates on science and technology, which include a closer look at how carbon monoxide slips off hemoglobin, a promising method for earlier ALS detection and Amazon joining the AI agent race.
On your marks, get set, go! The 2025–26 school year hits the ground running, picking up pace now more than ever with its first installment of the campus-famous Arts & Entertainment section’s weekly series, To Watch and Watch For. Before review material and get-to-know-you discussion posts give way to half-day homework assignments and midterms, how should you be spending your free time? Look no further — this list provides a cheat sheet of all the answers. And if you’re already strapped for time, then have no fear: I’ve simplified my answers to arrive at one personal recommendation for each section.
With low-70-degree weather and sunny skies ahead, it’s the perfect time to take a break and soak up some fresh air. As we enter the last full week of classes, there is a mix of energy and exhaustion in the air, but that does not mean the fun has to wait until Spring Fair — there is plenty happening off campus too. Whether you are cruising through the city or catching a comedy show, these events offer the perfect reset before finals kick in.
