On April 18, the Leadership, Engagement and Experiential Development (LEED) office at Hopkins announced that The Beaches and Toosii will be performing at the 2025 Spring Fair Concert. The artists were revealed through an Instagram post by the official LEED account and a “Concert Artist Reveal Party” was also hosted.
I think we take the sun for granted. I mean, yes, we would most certainly be dead without it, and then, well, I wouldn’t even be writing this, but there is a certain warmth, separate from physical, that we receive from the sun. It is always there, always rising from the east to the west.

Established in 2018, the Johns Hopkins Police Department has faced significant critical responses from students and community members, including student protests in 2019, spray-painted messages around campus in 2020 and a student-led “Die-in,” where participants imitated lying dead on the floor in a town hall in 2022. In face of opposition and nationwide protests against racism and police brutality, JHPD operations paused between June 2020 and June 2022 to evaluate the department.
The month of April is an exhilarating one in the world of competitive rock climbing, as it marks the return of the much anticipated global competition series and a change in structure at the next Summer Olympics.
Hi everyone, and welcome to one of our final Hopkins Sports in Review of the academic year! As our spring-season sports wrap up, keep an eye out for championship games and other news.
We’re at the home stretch of the academic year! Let’s end the year strong by reviewing some breaking discoveries this week.
Traditionally, our last editorial of the spring semester is spent reminiscing on the past year and encouraging students to look after their mental health during finals. We can’t do that this time. Why? Take a look around.
Pancreatic cancer is a rare tumor, accounting for only about 3% of cancer cases, but it is one of the most deadly. Over 67,000 Americans will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2025, and about 50,000 will pass away this year because of the disease. Up to 80% of pancreatic cancers aren’t diagnosed until they are at highly advanced stages, because the disease is typically asymptomatic early on.
Jeff Coller is a Bloomberg Distinguished Professor in the Molecular Biology and Genetics department at the School of Medicine and the Biomedical Engineering department at the Whiting School of Engineering. In an interview with The News-Letter, he discussed his research on the development of a new experimental protein booster that aims to improve the stability of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and the critical impact of recent federal research funding cuts on the future of biomedical research.
It’s unfortunate that the most beautiful period of spring coincides with the most demanding stretch of the academic year. Regardless, as the days become longer, the air grows warmer and everything bursts into motion at once, now is the perfect time to allow a little more art and entertainment into your life. If you're looking for a reminder of what makes life worth the grind, this week’s “To watch and watch for” will have you covered.
I used to hate silence. The silence of taxis, elevators and long lines unnerved and perplexed me. So did the eyes desperately darting downwards, plummeting into isolation as soon as someone stepped into an elevator. Short, cordial greetings met with even shorter goodbyes during taxi rides. A person standing a foot away from someone else in line for an hour without acknowledging they exist.
Fourth of July. Known for most as the day when the barbecue is up and running, and children are playing with fireworks, but for my family, the Fourth of July is about something much more. It’s about freedom. It was about survival.
Recently, I participated in The News-Letter’s weekend-long election process in which we appoint the board for the following year. This is an annual (and mandatory) tradition; helping to elect those who come after us is an indispensable part of our role as editors, as it ensures the strength and stability of the paper. I won’t be here next year, but The News-Letter will.
We are officially reaching the peak of NFL Draft season, so there’s no better time to take a look at some of my favorite potential picks in the first round. Last year I discussed a similar topic, and in retrospect I’m pretty stoked to see most of the predictions I made: particularly Quinyon Mitchell going to the Eagles, a pick that ended up contributing considerably to their Super Bowl victory.
On March 4, more than a decade after her previous novel Americanah, Hopkins alum Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie gave the people what they wanted: Dream Count. This recent addition to her body of works is a nebulous story following the lives of four African women navigating the U.S., pinned together in the middle with a disconcertingly familiar case of sexual assault perpetrated against one of the women.
For the one-week anniversary of being diagnosed with celiac disease (yup, gluten is now the enemy), I celebrated by going to Costiera with close friends.
Zach Mills is the True Chesapeake Oyster Company’s Executive Chef and Partner, and was recently named Maryland Chef of the Year. In an interview with The News-Letter, Mills underscored that True Chesapeake isn’t just a restaurant to him: It’s the culmination of years of hard work, collaboration and a commitment to thoughtful, environmentally-conscious cooking.
Welcome, Hopkins faithful, to another week of Hopkins Sports in Review! As always, we’re covering all the most pressing updates from the world of Hopkins athletics. It was a busy week for Blue Jay Track and Field, and Women’s Lacrosse picked up two big wins before their rivalry week game against Maryland. Here’s the latest scoop on Hopkins athletics:
On Friday, April 11 the Hopkins Political Union held its second debate of the semester, tackling two of the most contested issues in American politics: health-care policy and abortion. There were two unresolved guiding questions: Should health care be left to the free market, and is abortion health care?
