Summer On Campus: Spice It Up!
Summer on campus can be tough. The routine of internships or night classes, cooking pasta in an apartment shared with five other people, two of whom you’d never met before, and the lackluster events on the weekends can bring anyone down. I know, because I was there. Last summer, my friends and I at Tufts [...]
Summer Reading from the ‘Cac
We’ve gathered some books written this year by ‘Cac people. We tried our best to find something interesting from one person from each school (faculty or alumni). With selected comments. Wesleyan: Elizabeth Graver, The End of the Point NYTimes Review Trinity: Edward Albee, Death of Bessie Smith, The Sandbox, and the American Dream Writer of Who’s [...]
Wesleyan’s own The Rooks to release debut EP tomorrow
Home for the summer and missing the ‘Cac? Us too. So if you’re NYC-based and in the mood to soak up NESCAC vibes via a funky R&B band made up of alumni, you’re in luck! The Rooks, a sextet composed of Wes ’11 & ’12 grads, are playing Pianos in New York tomorrow night to celebrate [...]
Same Love makes ‘Cac a cappella debut

Word is they received an approximately 10-minute long standing ovation upon finishing. [...]
SUMMER HIT ALERT: ‘Emotional Bro’

The song was written by Bowdoin alum Mikel McCavana ‘12 for his band The Transports, but has never made the ‘Cac internet splash it was clearly destined to have. This is a song for the ‘Cac ages, poised to be more [...]
NESCAC Strong
Today marks the two week anniversary of the Boston bombings. As a runner and lifelong New England resident, the horrific events hit close to home – the fact that I had two senior teammates cheering and many others I knew competing (all of whom were uninjured) at the marathon that day made everything seem much [...]
Trinity Women’s Lax continues to dominate
While most Bantams have kissed their social lives goodbye and begun the search for a finals hideaway spot, the Trinity Women’s Lacrosse team still has plenty of reason to celebrate. Solidifying their lead among the NESCACs, Trinity added another “W” to their perfect record this past weekend (15-0 overall and 11-0 in the NESCAC), beating [...]
Weekend round-up: Darty edition
If you’re like us, you probably glanced at your nerdy assignment notebook this morning and felt a pang of ‘Oh shit’ wash over you like so much hangover nausea. If you were too busy attending one of the classic NESCAC parties held this weekend (or otherwise just basking in the glorious New England weather we [...]
