Hillel of Broward and Palm Beach at FAU has temporarily moved from the first floor of its building on the east side of the S.E. Wimberly Library to the second floor, where the 24-hour study lounge is located, temporarily closing the spot.

According to FAU signage on the door, the All-Night Study closed on Oct. 6 for renovations, with no clear timeline for the construction. The notice advised students to study at the Computer Center’s Open Computer Lab, located next to the library, or at the Atlantic Park Get Wise Center.

Construction began on Oct. 13 and is expected to transform the center for the Jewish campus organization, providing more room and resources for events and daily use once complete, according to Jason Harris, executive director of Hillel of Broward and Palm Beach. While the main space is under construction, Hillel operations are being temporarily moved upstairs, above the original location.

Florida Atlantic University Alpha Epsilon Pi member Sage Leinweber spent two days in a rocking chair, carrying the strength his grandfather showed in his fight with leukemia.

Last weekend, AEPi had Philanthropy Week, a time when all Greek organizations brainstormed creative ways to raise awareness and funds for various causes. AEPi has been in partnership with Gift of Life, a nonprofit that connects organ, tissue, and stem-cell donors to patients.

This year, with FAU limiting philanthropy events to two days, AEPi President James Levi wondered, “How do we maximize 48 hours?” The answer became the Rockathon, a two-day event encouraging students to get their cheeks swabbed to help find bone marrow matches for cancer patients.

Rutgers University-Camden administrator Sandra Richtermeyer spoke and answered a litany of attendees’ questions about her motivations to be the next provost for FAU on Wednesday.

Richtermeyer is one of three candidates for the position, which is a senior academic administrator. A first candidate, Scott Beaulier, spoke with faculty and staff on Oct. 20. Beaulier is one of four presidential candidates being considered at Northern Michigan University and currently serves as H.A. True Family Dean of Business at the University of Wyoming.

The next candidate will be announced on Oct. 28. FAU is in the midst of a five-month search for a new provost, which University President Adam Hasner announced in March 2025. Last April, the university hosted two listening sessions to hear from faculty and staff and the qualities they would like to see in a provost.

The FAU College Republicans student organization is making a comeback on campus after being inactive since last fall. Student leaders say this revival was prompted by the assassination of political activist Charlie Kirk on Sept. 10 at Utah Valley University.

When Joseph Semprevivo II arrived at FAU this fall, he hoped to join an active College Republicans chapter, only to find out it had gone dormant. Chapter officers say the former chapter struggled with low membership and gaps in leadership, disappearing from campus life after fall 2024.

The chapter’s leaders described the assassination of Kirk as a “turning point,” sparking a renewed sense of urgency among conservative students to speak up and engage on campus.

The University Press signed on to an amicus brief last week in a federal lawsuit the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression filed challenging Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s use of two immigration laws. The brief, joined with the Student Press Law Center, supports student journalism and international students’ free speech rights.

On Aug. 6, FIRE filed the lawsuit on behalf of the Stanford Daily, Stanford University’s student newspaper, and two non-media plaintiffs against Rubio’s immigration laws that allow the government to revoke visas or deport noncitizens for speech protected by the First Amendment. The Stanford Daily reported that international students are becoming increasingly hesitant to speak with the student newspaper out of fear of government action.

As editor-in-chief, I signed on behalf of Florida Atlantic University’s student newspaper after we faced a similar issue in our newsroom. We recently removed an international student’s byline from a story about a Palestine-related issue on campus to protect their immigration status.

The University Press, Florida Atlantic’s student newspaper, often finds its inbox filled with inquiries to pull stories or redact names from published articles. Editors typically say “no” after consideration, unless a piece contains factual errors or poses a risk of direct harm.

Last semester, an international student requested that the University Press remove their name from a story they had written about a Palestinian issue on campus, fearing the article could jeopardize their immigration status.

Florida Atlantic football (3-3, 2-1 AC) gained its second consecutive win with a 53-33 victory against the University of Alabama at Birmingham (2-4, 0-3 AC) at home, behind four sacks, explosive plays, and three rushing touchdowns.

Head Coach Zach Kittley was impressed with the team’s performance, sharing his feelings about their performance this season overall.

“I’m proud of the effort our guys came to play. We had a lot of areas that I need to be better at, for sure, but excited to get a big win in the American play,” said Kittley in his postgame press conference.
