Bostonians call for democracy on International Women’s Day

By Tanya Dev | March 14

Every year, March 8 marks International Women’s Day, a holiday dedicated to honoring women’s achievements and progress toward gender equality.

Aloha, Tufts! Hawai‘i Club brings the Islands’ culture to campus

By Tanya Dev | February 19

In Hawa‘i, tradition and history aren’t just remembered — they’re lived. Lu‘aus bring people together through music, hula dancing and a feast of flavors like kalua pig and haupia. Spam musubi — a grilled, teriyaki-glazed Spam atop a block of rice, wrapped in crisp nori — is a relished snack. The rhythmic pulse of pahu drums echoes through hula performances and sacred ceremonies, their deep tones carrying the stories of generations. With each movement of hula, hands and bodies speak a language of their own, preserving and sharing the spirit of Hawai‘i.

The first rays of sunlight have yet to brush the sky and the streets are cloaked in icy darkness. But for 15 students on the Tufts Marathon Team, this frigid Monday morning brims with energy. They lace up their sneakers, scarf down bananas, chug water and slide in their AirPods, queuing upbeat tunes. While the world around them remains in a quiet slumber, they are awake in every sense. Each stride builds unshakable endurance, every hill sharpens their resolve, and these cold, early hours forge the mental steel they’ll need to conquer the legendary 26.2 miles from Hopkinton to Boylston Street on Marathon Monday. In these cold, pre-dawn hours, they’re already champions in the making.
