A Goodbye to the Corr Hall Basement

Colin Beazley, Former Editor-In-Chief May 1, 2024

A Senior’s Final Move Out

Sarah Sweeney, Former News Editor May 1, 2024

Sof Quaglia, Satire Columnist May 1, 2024

Why Villanova Should Stop Salting Pavements

Sof Quaglia, Satire Columnist April 24, 2024

In the wise words of Jason Kelce, “We have to talk about it.” I would not be able to call myself a journalist if I didn’t write about this topic. What topic might that be? Taylor Swift’s newest...
