The Art of Figure Skating Songs
(02/24/26 3:30pm)
A dance performance cannot exist without music. In order to convey a true emotion necessary for a fantastic piece of art, there needs to be a soundtrack supporting the moves. Additionally, songs help performers stay on beat and engaged within the piece. Think of ballet: Without Tchaikovsky’s score, Swan Lake would lack an integral piece of passion. The moves would be beautiful, yet part of the performance’s soul would be gone. Even the dancers themselves would feel the lack, conveying less distinct emotion in silence.
Beyond Ithaca: A Quick Trip to Buffalo
(02/24/26 12:51am)
Taking a quick trip to Buffalo from Ithaca, I found myself immersed in the ‘Bills-nation.’ A weekend trip to Buffalo from Ithaca is easier than many students realize; the drive typically takes between two to three hours, depending on traffic. For anyone seeking a change of scenery, regional food favorites or a short escape from Ithaca, Buffalo offers an exciting getaway within a manageable distance from Cornell. With Buffalo’s amazing wings and astonishing views along Lake Erie, a trip to the city makes for a fun choice for a quick winter trip.
I, TOO, AM CORNELL: Revisiting the 1969 Willard Straight Hall Takeover
(02/24/26 12:10am)
The sound of unyielding chains rattling against the heavy oak doors of Willard Straight Hall was the first sign that the status quo had expired. Within hours, the Ivy League’s polished veneer had been stripped away, replaced by a standoff that would draw the eyes of the entire nation. The sun had barely crested over Libe Slope on April 19, 1969, when the catalytic 36-hour occupation began; it seethed into an uproar as Black students piled into Willard Straight, refusing to be subjected to the deafening silence of the administration’s passivity toward the growing chasm between the University’s liberal rhetoric and the lived reality of students of color.

An Expanded Literary Narrative: Black History Month and Beyond
(02/24/26 1:00pm)
Despite having lived my entire life in the U.S., I know disappointingly little about Black history, culture and media. So, as a freshman with both the time and inclination to expand my perspective— as well as a strong love of literature — this semester, I enrolled in ENGL 2650: “Introduction to African American Literature.” Within the past month, Professor Chelsea Mikael Frazier, a scholar in Black feminist literature and ecocriticism, has already taken the course beyond the bounds of my expectations and managed to do so with texts as entertaining as they are informative.
GUEST ROOM | Measuring What Matters in Student Well-being
(02/23/26 7:00pm)
This time of year often asks a lot of us. Academic pressure intensifies, energy wanes and even meaningful work can feel heavy. In moments like this, I return to a principle that has guided much of my work: we measure what we value, and we come to value what we measure. That idea sits at the center of why researching student well-being at Cornell matters — and why continuing to measure it, especially when things feel stretched or uncertain, is essential.

'It’s So Bisexual in Here!': Big Red Moon Club’s Live Dating Show
(02/23/26 1:00pm)
Following the famous “Is Pegging Gay?” debate on Feb. 10, many were left wondering how Cornell’s Big Red Moon Club could possibly outdo themselves. After all, they’d already achieved perfection — a packed auditorium, passionate deliberations and a powerful sense of community uniting students across campus. Other organizations would have stumbled in the afterglow — flopped, one could say — but not Moon Club. The question of what comes next was answered the very week after the pegging debate in the form of “Bisexual Pop the Balloon: A Live Queer Dating Show.”
