Like many other students, when faced with more than 1,000 clubs to choose from, I wanted to stay in my comfort zone — giving major and career-oriented clubs first pick. But if my experience working with The Vault has taught me anything, exploring the unexpected can lead to fantastic results.
The Department of Education forms the foundation of Wisconsin’s education system. Trump shouldn’t dismantle it.
SAFEwalk works by sending students in pairs to a person’s location to walk them anywhere on campus at night so they don’t need to go by themself. It seems like a great idea — free, convenient and meant to protect students walking home alone after dark. But after spending two years on campus, I’ve found that despite the university's efforts to promote SAFEwalk, students still refuse to use it.

I owe you something, and you owe me something, too. I have no idea who you are, and you’ve probably never met me before — but that’s the point. While it might be tempting to focus on ourselves, and ourselves alone, we can’t ignore that our own wellbeing often relies on those around us.

When volunteers only push for political engagement before an election, their motives are rarely sincere.
On Nov. 1 at midnight, high school seniors across the U.S. submitted their early action applications to secure their spot as part of the class of 2030. This spring, over half will receive a rejection letter. With college admissions in the rearview mirror, enrolled students have started to take their place at UW-Madison for granted. As a student body, we owe it to hopeful future badgers to give falling back in love with UW-Madison another chance.
By focusing on young people, the Harris campaign is making way for progressive policies and fostering a new generation of Democratic voters.

The tragic reality of Helene and Milton is that despite attempts at preventative disaster relief, the storms arrived before we were ready. With November approaching, voters on either side of the aisle must consider a new issue as they head to the polls: disaster response.
When you run out of class at the first chance, you undervalue your education. Think again.
On the other side of the country, Florida residents are bracing for the second devastating hurricane in under two weeks. There, it’s hard to accept this might be the new normal. What does this have to do with us in Madison? As individuals here and across the country, we’re not doing nearly enough to stop the climate crisis that’s causing more intense natural disasters.
You can’t game a professional landscape that’s constantly changing. You might as well study what you love.
It’s a common refrain in American politics: Republicans bring economic growth, while Democrats burden the economy with taxes, regulation and spending. But when we look at the data, this belief doesn’t reflect reality.
