Ferrari’s 2022 challenger, a potential title-winning formula?

(01/25/22 11:00am)

It’s been safe to say that Ferrari has not seen much success in Formula One recently. With their last champion Kimi Räikkönen having retired at the end of the 2021 season, the Formula One grid has lost its last driver who won a championship with the prancing horses all the way back in 2007. The team that once dominated the sport at the hands of seven-time champion Michael Schumacher hasn’t won a drivers’ or constructors’ championship since 2007 and 2008, respectively. Since then, the team has come close to winning a championship — most notably of these almost-victories include Felipe Massa’s in 2008 and Fernando Alonso’s in 2012, both of whom missed out on a championship with Ferrari in the final race of the season.

Atlanta Braves win World Series 4-2

(11/09/21 11:00am)

The Atlanta Braves are the 2021 World Series champions after a 7-0 win against the Houston Astros in Game 6. This was the Braves first World Series title in 26 years, which is also the last time that Atlanta has won a championship in any sport. According to the Braves manager Brian Snitker, “Everybody that’s in the World Series right now is gassed, everybody and both teams, all the players. It’s been a long year.” The Braves returned to Atlanta leading the series 3-2.

Historical references and James Ming Johnson

(11/02/21 10:00am)

Art-making is rarely a straightforward path. Life itself is full of twists that leave us unsure of where to put our feet next. However, unexpected situations can be just the push someone needs to go for what they desire. When James Ming Johnson joined the Post-Baccalaureate Program in Studio Art at Brandeis University, he had been trying to narrow down his life to its uttermost essentials. For Johnson, this meant getting rid of the preoccupations of the day-to-day to finally find a space — both physical and mental — to nourish his artistic practice. Moving to Massachusetts suburbia, he says, “was a nice change from New York.” Part of Brandeis School of Graduate Arts and Sciences, the Post-Baccalaureate Program gives students the space to grow as artists and develop a portfolio for graduate school admission. The private studios in the Epstein Building offer 24/7 access and a mock-up gallery space where students engage critically with each other’s artworks.

A sport from the wizarding world comes to campus

(10/12/21 10:00am)

It may come as a surprise, but Brandeis has a Quidditch team. Yes, you heard that right — the sport is no longer reserved for the wizarding world of “Harry Potter.” While lacking in witchcraft and wizardry, the University’s team is very real and a welcoming space for anyone who wishes to join. Founded in 2010, The Judges’ Quidditch team is one of many club sports, which are independent and student-run at Brandeis. They play against other universities in the college division of US Quidditch and have previously gone to nationals. Brandeis Quidditch, however, is about more than just playing a sport. It’s about inclusivity, teamwork and — when it comes down to it — having a good time.

For transgender student-athletes, new policy is more than just rules and guidelines

As captain of two varsity teams, track and cross country, and a double major at Brandeis, Jac Guerra ’22, who identifies as a man with transgender experience, is no stranger to taking on challenges that others might find daunting. But even for him, navigating the National Collegiate Athletic Association guidelines while taking steps in his personal transition was not a simple task.

Brady returns to Gillette Stadium as a Buccaneer

(10/05/21 10:00am)

On the morning of March 17, 2020, I stood mindlessly scrolling on my phone in my high school hallway. I sighed in distress. COVID-19 had just taken the world by storm, and my hometown was close to a shutdown. That wasn’t what I was sighing about, though. On what would be my last day of school due to the pandemic, only one question was on my mind: Is Tom Brady going to stay on the New England Patriots?
