Hi, my name is Joe. And even tho I have a bachelor’s degree in English, I speak and write in text language. Here is why I think it’s OK: Language changes, it always has and it always will. And unlike French, English has no governing body that tells us what is and is not proper English. In fact,... Read more »

Not only are we the editorial staff of the University of Toledo newspaper, we are also students here. And when we discovered how awful our on-time graduation rate is, we felt a little disappointed, but we weren’t totally surprised. A quick poll around our office showed the same trend. We could all... Read more »

“Man, this is heavy,” Marty McFly stated as he strolled into his hometown thirty years into the future – 2015. It’s hard to imagine the possibilities of the future even ten years down the road, let alone thirty. In the futuristic Hill Valley of movie “Back to the Future Part II,” flying cars... Read more »

The filmmaking “bug” in UT students produce films with diverse perspectives

Evan Sennett, IC columnist and cartoonist
March 16, 2016
Filed under Columns, Opinion

I have a bug inside of me that will never go away. It is a virus without a cure: the constant urge to create moving images. Films. Perhaps you have that bug too. I know that there are at least a handful of other UT students who work countless hours, tirelessly staring at a computer screens or film viewers... Read more »

The skills of a Ph.D. are not limited to a single, specific field

The skills of a Ph.D. are not limited to a single, specific field

As a Ph.D. student, I’ve been looking at the myriads of non-academic and non-traditional positions that are there for us now. Lately, the traditional career track of Ph.D. students is changing.

Filed under Columns, Opinion

When I sat next to Andrés Medina during UT’s production of “The Laramie Project,” I saw him as any other theatre major. I even had the pleasure of taking a film class with him last semester. But, right before the house lights dimmed for the show, Medina leaned over to me and expressed his excitement... Read more »

Filed under Columns, Opinion

Med School. Pharmacy School. Law school. For a student pursuing a career in these majors, the first words that often come to their minds is COMPETITION. How can I set myself up better than the other students? How can I outperform the student next to me? How can I butter up the professor to get a killer... Read more »

It’s the beginning of spring break and you’re looking for something to binge watch on Netflix. There isn’t a new season of “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” like there was last year.

Students will have to pay 2 percent more for housing if they want to stay in UT’s on-campus housing for the 2016-17 academic year. We did the math, and the 2 percent increase in room rates means students can expect an additional $108.24 – $185.08 to be added to their bill. UT reported that the raised... Read more »

Why Trump?

Gabrielle Hawkins, IC Columnist
February 24, 2016
Filed under Columns, Opinion

I’m as guilty as anyone for looking up Donald Trump memes and reading all the stupid, ugly and downright offensive things that come flying out of his mouth. He’s nothing more than a racist, a misogynistic loud mouth with no respect for anyone other than himself. He is the definition of offensive.... Read more »
