OPINIONS

Chase Portaro (chportaro@ursinus.edu) Routine trips to supermarkets and stockpiles of frozen pizzas -- the drastic measures taken by school cafeterias across the country to feed students amid nationwide supply-chain disruptions and labor shortages caused by aftershocks of a global pandemic. During the early stages of COVID-19, cafeterias like Wismer navigated...

Olivia Fiorella (olfiorella@ursinus.edu) On October 24, Ursinus’ head strength and conditioning coach, Michael Moronese, sent out an email in which he announced an Open Gym Block for “all students, staff and faculty that do not identify as a cisgender man.” Many students were excited at the prospect of having a...

The student who wrote this would like to remain anonymous because they do not want to alienate their bosses. You’ve heard the stereotype: broke college student seeks a job on campus to have spending money. Sounds like a great solution, right? They’re flexible with your class schedule, are within walking...

Sean McGinley (semcginley@ursinus.edu) Media distrust is at an all time high in the United States and you don’t have to do too much sleuthing to see this. I personally see it nearly everyday. I walked around the activities fair last week, where I saw stickers at one table with the...

lahalterman@ursinus.edu Q: Hey Grizzly, I really miss being on campus and participating in all of the activities. Are there any activities available to those who are remote? Where can I look to find them? A: I’m studying remotely and miss campus dearly, too. But it is possible to remain connected...

avcompagnoni@ursinus.edu There is no debate that the Coronavirus pandemic has negatively affected all students attending school, but it is clear that this year’s graduating class received the shortest end of the stick. The 2020-2021 academic year is not what the Ursinus Class of 2021 expected or deserves. The seniors may be...

Marie Sykes (masykes@ursinus.edu) When Ursinus returned to campus last August, there was no shortage of outdoor activities to ease students into living on-campus and interacting face-to-face once again. However, with over a foot of snow on the Berman Lawn, the reality is that we cannot continue taking classes outside or...
