College Football Week 1: A New Era
The News-Letter is proud to be financially independent from the University — a tradition started by alumni of the paper that we have maintained for decades. This means that the paper does not receive funding from the University which enables us to serve as an unbiased and trusted organization when reporting on matters affecting the Hopkins community. As we begin the new school year, we want to provide readers with a greater understanding of our sources of funding and the importance of maintaining our independence.
The 112th Student Government Association (SGA) convened on Tuesday, Sept. 3 for their weekly meeting.
Whether you’re looking to enjoy the crisp fall air at a local festival, groove to live music or indulge in a classic Maryland crab feast, this weekend offers plenty of opportunities to create unforgettable memories. Here’s a roundup of what’s happening around the city.
The climate crisis is real. We see evidence of this in increased storm severity, more intense wildfires and inundated shorelines. As with all problems, humans naturally search for a root cause for these continuing disasters. It can be difficult to reconcile that we — the humans searching for answers to this crisis — are responsible for the global climate crisis. Greed, short-sighted mitigation strategies and stubborn opposition to change are among the top reasons why mankind have thus far failed to adequately address the urgency of climate disasters.
In an email to the Hopkins community on May 10, President Ronald J. Daniels wrote that, “The time for protest and disruption that violates our rules and norms must end. The encampment must be dismantled. In its stead, we must return to respectful dialogue on difficult issues that is the work of the university.”
Over the Labor Day weekend, my roommates and I took advantage of one of those last shorts-and-tank-top days, wrapping up summer with a day in Ellicott City. This little trip was the perfect blend of old-world charm and modern-day delights, from strolling down historic Main Street to indulging in some seriously good Korean BBQ — there’s just so much to enjoy here.
For my entire life, I have explained, to those asking, that while I have a Hispanic-sounding first name, my parents actually emigrated from the Philippines. For those sufficiently curious, I have further elaborated that I was named after my father’s maternal grandfather, whom we refer to as “Lolo (Grandfather) Miguel.”
The Hopkins Postdoctoral Researchers Organizing Committee (Hopkins-PRO) hosted a union launch picnic at Wyman Park Dell on Saturday, August 31. The event, which took place from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m., marked a significant achievement for the group in its ongoing efforts to go public and establish an official postdoctoral union at the University.
As a new semester begins, so too does the search for new entertainment. It’s an endless endeavor, but fruitful as well. Movies, books and music can be the perfect companions to your thoughts, giving you something to chew on or just to help you relax at the end of the day — that is, if you can squeeze free time into the busy Hopkins lifestyle. We hope you can, because there are so many exciting releases and events happening in the coming week. Whether you’re looking for things to fill your ears or eyes, or just something that isn’t mindless, the Arts section is here with a curated list of media for you to check out.
As The News-Letter begins its 2024 Paralympic Games coverage, we wanted to kick off by looking back at some of our favorite moments from the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris!
As I enter my final year of university, I find myself in a never-asleep-but-always-tired world, where we have the power to summon the world's knowledge anytime at the tap of a finger. Instantly satiating our curious mind with an answer without letting it wander and dwell on the problem has its own pitfalls.
One thing I never predicted when I started at Hopkins is how much I would change throughout my time here. It sounds silly because “of course college changes you.” Yes, I am more independent. Yes, I am more disciplined. Yes, I trust myself more (and also not at all). So, it’s obvious: College changed me.
Welcome back to school and happy Labor Day!

The reality of moving away from home is an experience that is different for everyone. For some, it takes the form of going to school somewhere in-state while, for others, it means uprooting everything and moving to the other side of the world. For some, this period of change can be especially daunting. For others, they may relish the opportunity for greater independence and the chance to truly find their place in this world.
Baltimore is a city not only rich in culture and history but also culinary diversity. While many Hopkins students may find themselves frequenting the familiar spots on St. Paul Street, there are hidden gems scattered throughout the city well worth exploring. A huge foodie myself, I kept a detailed diary of all the restaurants I have explored, either on a lone quest or with my buddies. It’s my pleasure to share some of my favorite restaurants, and I hope you enjoy them, as well!
