Dining announces new food options

The University Dining Staff has made many changes to the food being served around campus for the spring semester.

Sister Campuses Must Warm Relations

Everyday of the week, big white busses pull up in front of the ITS. Doors open and bus drivers welcome students aboard. Everyday, at least one of these busses makes a stop at Eastman School of Music, about a fifteen-minute ride. The busses then pick up waiting students and head back to River Campus (RC). […]

McMorrow shows promise on “Post Tropical”

When Bon Iver accepted the 2012 Grammy award for “Best New Artist”, it was an awkward victory for artists on the fringe of mainstream awareness.

Rochester families without homes find hope

Their two young daughters ran around the large, well-lit room, playing in their costumes as a witch and a princess. The parents’ faces wrinkled when they gave […]

Iron & Wine captivates packed Strong with acoustic set

Strong Auditorium was packed with flannel shirts, beanies, and thick sweaters last Friday. Never before have so many students  with beards congregated at the same time. Many were students at UR, but others were the hipsters and folk-music-lovers from the city of Rochester. Chaos broke out as people searched for the last pair of seats […]
