While the start of the Fall semester feels very much like the dog days of summer, the blurred lines of January into February resemble deep winter. Students bundle in a hodgepodge of scarfs, hats and gloves to embark on the treacherous journey from South campus to Harris, as temperatures plummeted into the negative teens and dorm room heating struggled to keep up.
As we stay toasty in the TCV office, we warmly welcome back our incredible Arts Editor Caoimhe Markey ‘23 and Copy Editor Jocelyn Lewis ‘24. Our editorial squad feels complete again, but as the 100 Days until graduation celebration quickly approaches, we anticipate the bittersweet day our senior editorial staff members will move onto the next chapter. Nonetheless, we look forward to all the milestones along the way, from Dance Capstones (taking over Catja’s life) to Floralia to Senior Week.
Springtime is a sign of rebirth and transformation. To kick off the semester, we are covering new opportunities at Conn, featuring Staff Writer Caroline Snyder’s ‘26 piece on the newly founded Environmental Model Committee, as well as News Editor Keri Kransnoff’s ‘24 coverage of new SVPA staff. Hop on over to our Arts section for a tribute to a beloved Music Professor Peter Jarvis and a review of The Last of Us by Caleb Butler ‘26. Also try your hand at our comic competition, crossword, and maze.
Camel Athletics have continued at an ever-rapid pace throughout the course of winter break and into the new semester, highlighted by the men’s hockey sweep of Tufts in a home and away double header this past weekend. Hannah Foley ‘23, on page 10, attempts to help the women’s water polo team find a goalie ahead of their season… any takers? The Super Bowl is just around the corner, so be sure to grab a copy of TCV, check out our sports section, and complete the Super Bowl bingo card — created by our lovely Sports Editors — with your friends.
Be sure to take a look at our feature on Commencement Keynote Speaker Sally Susman ‘84 written by Staff Writer Kevin Lieue ‘26. Although it is truly frigid now, we seniors will soon be sweltering in the May sun and listening to Susman’s inspiring talk. Soon after we move our tassels and toss our caps, Conn will kickstart Summer at Conn, a pre-college program for local high schoolers. Check out Sam’s coverage on the front page to learn more about this exciting initiative.
Spring semester brings a slew of events, games, performances, and more. The College Voice, which acts as a biweekly archive of life at Conn, is always looking for writers to cover all the wonderful things happening on campus. Come to our biweekly pitch meetings in the Alice Johnson Room at 8pm, send us an email at thecollegevoice@conncoll.edu, and follow our Insta @the_collegevoice!
Enjoy,
Catja Christensen and Sam Maidenberg
Co-Editors -in-Chief
