I am tired. No, not in the way that I need to sleep for more than 8 hours a night. Well, yes that way too, but that’s not what I’m referring to now. I am tired of hearing about the election.

Whenever the democratic primary election was stolen by the neo-liberal shill known as Hillary Clinton, I just couldn’t bow my head to the man and vote for her. Yes, as a die-hard Bernard Sanders fan, I can’t bring myself to vote for Clinton. She’s the worst. Because I believe in principled progressivism,...

If you ask a random student why they went to Point Park, chances are they’ll talk about the depth of practical experience in your intended career you can get here.

It’s the spookiest time of the year again. No, not Halloween. Scheduling is upon us, and we are confronted with the terrifying reality of our eventual exit from college. Seniors and graduate students get to register on Nov. 7, and the last of the freshmen will get to sign up for classes on Nov....

Let me make one thing clear from the beginning: I do not fully support the ideas or actions of what Donald Trump does or says.

The presidential debates this election cycle have come and gone, and all I can think about is how much I wanted Gary Johnson to be on that stage.
