 What to Watch: When Finals Got You Down5/4/2012 |
It’s official, finals melancholy has settled in. Tisch is bumping, coffee is on a refill-drink-repeat cycle, and there’s only so much your brain can take in. So, take a break with some lighthearted fare! 10 Things I Hate About You (FDV4823)

 The Tufts LGBT Center4/24/2012 |
Tom Bourdon, the Director of the LGBT Center, is warm, enthusiastic, and personable. Currently wrapping up Gaypril, the annual pride month celebration, Bourdon was quick to invite me to a talk, and their calendar is full of informative and exciting events. The Lavender Graduation Ceremony on May 1st will end the year by honoring Gunner Scott, the head of the Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition. In fact, Carl Sciortino, Tufts album of 2000, and state representative helped pass the Massachusetts Transgender Equality Bill along with Scott. The event will be held on Tuesday May 1st at 4:30 PM in SOGO. Part of the Group of Six Cultural Centers, the LGBT Center is on the second floor of 226 College Avenue. |
 What to Watch: When You Want a Leo Fix4/18/2012 |
This past Sunday (April 15th) was the 100-year anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. To commemorate this historical event, Paramount Pictures has re-released a limited edition of Titanic in 3-D. I think every girl in my generation was a bit obsessed with this movie and probably still enjoys it. As a child, I got my own Heart of the Ocean necklace for $20 and blasted Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” for months on end. Most of all, I quickly fell in love with Jack Dawson and subsequently, Leonardo DiCaprio. So, get out to the theatre to check out Titanic 3-D (It’s playing at AMC Loews Harvard Square!) or rent a couple movies to get nostalgic for our childhood crush. |
 What to Watch: When You're Sad Spring Hasn't Sprung4/9/2012 |
The Media Center on the third floor of Tisch Library has a library of over 10,000 movies! Check out some of these films to get that Spring Break feeling back, even if it's cold and raining on the hill. |
 The Tufts International Center3/26/2012 |
On 20 Sawyer Avenue, next to Alpha Phi and across from the International House, lies the International Center. The director, Jane Etish-Andrews, is a busy woman and often rushes between meeting after meeting. However, she is always warm and engaged when she talks to students. Her office is filled with beautiful knick-knacks from around the world, and her passion for the International Center is perceptible.

 LCS Blood Drive1/24/2012 |
The holiday season is over and with it, a lot of community service centered around the holidays is fading, too. But, good news! There is an upcoming opportunity to give back on Tufts campus, which can make you feel all sorts of good. And best of all, you can do a lot of good, too. Every two seconds someone in the United States needs blood, and five million people receive blood every year. In effect, millions of people have their lives saved through the donation process by 9.5 million blood donors. The community blood supply for types O positive and A positive are at emergency level, while the supply for O negative and A negative are at a critical level. Therefore, it is incredibly important to donate blood at this crucial time. The Leonard Carmichael Society is running a blood drive from January 30th to February 3rd in the Carmichael Lounge. Each day the drive will be open from 12 pm to 6 pm, except February 3rd, where it will be open from 11 am to 4 pm. Please come to the lounge with a positive ID. You walk in or sign up on tuftslife.com.

 Campus Class-Acts: Professor Ben Hescott11/14/2011 |
This week, our first Campus Class-Act nominated professor will be showcased. Early Wednesday morning, I found myself in Halligan, feeling entirely out of place. However, Professor Hescott was so welcoming, friendly, and enthusiastic that by the end of our meeting, it felt as if I was chatting with a friend. I was ready to sign up for a Computer Science course myself. On a side note, he also has the most adorable puppy ever! Department:Computer Science What do you teach?
