Last Thursday, a group of artists transformed the second floor of Smith into an art venue combining “visual art, postmodern dance, theatre, improvisation, oral hygiene and food processing” in a piece called perDORMance Art. The concept was formed over a year ago as a “collaborative idea and effort by the [now] senior dance majors,” said [...]
On Friday, September 21, the Office of College Relations named Howard Gordon the commencement speaker for the ninety-fifth ceremony in May 2013.

After a summer of inspiration from the domestic goddess Hannah Hart, host of YouTube’s My Drunk Kitchen series, and the magic of Pinterest, The College Voice has decided to embark on its own culinary adventure. Each week, we will either write a column or upload a video of us attempting to make “real” food using [...]
ConnPix, a Tumblr and Facebook account of photos from around campus, has steadily gained popularity since its launch this summer by Andrew Nathanson ’13.

And as for the people who don’t like coffee, I’m sure they still love coffee shops – who wouldn’t love a Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks right by their house? This summer, when I found [...]
Posted by Stephanie Reeves Monday, February 25, 2013 Category: NewsAs an editor for The College Voice, I am often frustrated to hear students complain about not having an outlet to voice their frustrations or criticisms other than ConnCollConfessional, which we all know creates more problems than it solves. Students seem to forget (or perhaps are simply apathetic to the fact) that the student newspaper [...]
