NEWS: Suffolk University Resident Assistants hold many responsibilities in Suffolk’s dorm halls: Above all, maintaining student safety. Some RAs are questioning whether the Board of Trustees had that in mind when deciding to arm the Suffolk Police Department.

“To be pretty honest, I was gobsmacked,” said Christian Mack, a junior and an RA in Miller Hall.

Suffolk President Marisa Kelly sent an email April 24 to faculty and staff announcing that the Board had approved a resolution in favor of arming on April 19.

“We do not want armed officers on our residential floors except in certain very specific and dangerous situations,” Kelly said in the email.

As the university begins to reimagine campus safety in the dorms, Mack is struggling to see why a firearm would be needed in a residence hall in any circumstance.

EDITORIAL: Fifty-two years ago, The Suffolk Journal’s Editorial Board gathered with students in the Ridgeway building to voice concerns over the United States Pentagon’s campaign targeting Vietnam.

These editors met on May 8, 1972, to author a special edition of The Journal to voice their opinions about ongoing protests across both Suffolk University and the nation.

“As Suffolk students, and furthermore as members of the college press who are bent on the expression and exchange of ideas, we looked around us and saw to our dismay that the members of our academic community were not being given the opportunity to express themselves as members of this community, nor to express themselves in a voice of solidarity,” their message read.

Now, as our peers and neighbors in Boston face violent resistance as they call for divestments and a ceasefire, The Suffolk Journal Editorial Board wants to emphasize this message from all those years ago. We stand in support of protesters across the United States who are fighting for their beliefs, as the right to peaceably gather and freely express opinion is unequivocal.

NEWS: Five Suffolk University students were arrested at Emerson College during the dismantling of the “Popular University Encampment” April 25. As part of the 118 arrests made early that morning, protesters describe scenes of violence and police brutality.

National Students for Justice in Palestine issued a statement April 20, instating the “Popular University for Gaza.” In encampments established across the city and the nation, students are calling for their universities to disclose and divest from investments in Israel and for a permanent ceasefire and end of the occupation in Palestine.

NEWS: For Suffolk University sophomore Patrick Walsh, the April 24 email from Suffolk President Marisa Kelly announcing the Board of Trustees decision to authorize the arming of the Suffolk Police Department came amid a normal conversation between colleagues.

An office assistant for the Political Science and Legal Studies Department, Walsh listened to the gasps of his peers as they read the announcement that detailed the Board’s decision and steps to forming an implementation plan. Some were silent as they began to grapple with the new future of the university. Others yelled across the hall about the decision.

OPINION: In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, I committed to Suffolk University, knowing that the classroom and my college experience would be shaped by Zoom and social distancing.

Fresh out of high school, I wanted to be a writer, a lawyer, a doctor and about 20 other professions depending on the day. With four years of college ahead of me, I couldn’t see a clear path ahead.

Now, just a few weeks from graduation, I’ve found a passion for democracy and journalism; and with that, a home on the ninth floor of Sawyer.

The only person who would’ve been surprised by Sarah Roberts’ Suffolk University career might’ve been Sarah Roberts.

After three years as a pillar on the university’s prolific cross country and track & field teams, it’s amazing to reflect on her journey of determination and perseverance.

Hailing from Taunton, Massachusetts, Roberts discovered her love for running in elementary school.

“I started running in fifth grade. I remember hearing an announcement over the loudspeaker saying cross country tryouts were after school. I went and I haven’t stopped running since,” said Roberts. “I had done so many other sports but none of them had scratched the itch that running had.”

ARTS: Suffolk University’s Soulfully Versed put on its end-of-the-year showcase on the 5th floor of Sargent Hall April 19, amid a busy weekend of performances. The show, entitled “The Trials and Tribulations of Love,” was the group’s final standalone performance of the semester.

The production centered around themes relating to both romantic and platonic relationships, featuring renditions of songs like Etta James’ “I’d Rather Go Blind,” Christina Perri’s “Jar of Hearts,” Lord Huron’s “The Night We Met,” and Silk Sonic’s “Put On a Smile.” The theme didn’t just apply to the selection of music being performed, but also to the event’s decor. The central aisle was lined with flower petals and individualized love notes were placed on every chair at the event.

“I think because we’re talking about love, singing about love, we wanted to create something that was individualized and really was from us,” said Kassidy Planas, Soulfully Versed’s current President and senior at Suffolk.

OPINION: As the world rang in 2024, I was faced with the excitement of starting my last semester of college but also the daunting task of securing my first full-time job post-grad. As a public relations and communication major, I knew our industry was saturated and competitive, and I’d have to stand out to secure a job.

For months, I had watched the economy struggle, seeing the constant stream of headlines announcing rising inflation rates and companies laying off hundreds of thousands of workers. I was petrified by TikTok videos of 2022 and 2023 graduates who, despite sending out thousands of applications, had still not been offered jobs.

So at the beginning of January, I rolled up my sleeves, spruced up my resume and began what I expected to be a long and tumultuous journey to secure a post-grad role. Three months and 450 applications later, I have received a job offer.

ARTS: Suffolk University’s WSFR and Emerson College’s WECB radio teamed up April 20 for a laid-back “4/20” spring concert featuring multiple performances by local artists at Modern Theatre.

Despite the smaller, intimate audience, the artists brought out all the fun energy to create a care-free atmosphere for the night.

The concert kicked off with Brady Dallas Jones and his band, whose lively set provided a delightful folky beginning to the evening. Jones, a Boston native, returned to Modern Theatre after two years with excitement.

“I recorded an EP last summer and I am releasing it right now,” Jones said. “It’s the first time we’re playing these songs with the band, so it feels pretty good.”

ARTS: The Common rocked the house down at Ned Devine’s Irish Pub April 17 at Faneuil Hall for their annual semester concert.

Kicking off the concert with Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ On A Prayer,” newest member Dora-Liisa Meriste got the audience in the spirit for a show full of throwbacks.

After a couple introductory numbers, the band members were introduced to the crowd. This included drummer Matt Desario, guitarist EC Repp, keyboardist and keytarist Katie Kilbride, multi-instrumentalist Charlotte Weldon, singer and bassist Dora-Liisa, singer Carson Stiles and singer Manuela Maria.

Maria is currently studying abroad at Suffolk’s Madrid Campus and could not participate in the show, but the band dedicated one of her usual songs, Rush’s “Tom Sawyer,” to the vocalist during their performance.

BREAKING: Suffolk University President Marisa Kelly announced April 24 that the Board of Trustees voted to approve a resolution authorizing the arming of the Suffolk University Police Department and the development of an implementation plan.

The Board voted to do so April 19.

“The board’s decision came after a great deal of input from the University campus community and a thorough assessment of campus safety measures,” said Kelly in an email to the Suffolk community.

The earliest that SUPD would be armed would be 2025, according to the university. Kelly noted that in a recent survey sent to community members, a majority of students opposed the arming.

ARTS: Suffolk University’s production of “It Can’t Happen Here” opened at Modern Theater April 11 and created a hysterical show of the theatrics of American politics.

Based on the political dystopian novel of the same name by Sinclair Lewis, the main antagonist, Buzz Windrip, is an authoritarian leader who runs and wins against Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1930s. Once elected, Windrip reigns with fascist ideals.

Protagonist Doremus Jessup, played by junior Matthew Killion, is the owner and editor of his own local newspaper. Wanting to spread the knowledge of Windrip’s lies and misinformation, Jessup fights throughout the play to keep ideals strong while fighting for free press.

The shift to Workday Student became official Feb. 26. Following the launch, Suffolk and Workday offered training to student leaders across campus to aid in the transition.

“We tried to let students know far in advance of registration,” said Grace MacDonald, a Workday Student marketing assistant. “We started promotion back in October, posting Instagram Reels, putting up posters and signs and sending emails about Workday to the student body.”

While opinions on the website itself are split, many students said the transition was difficult, especially in the lead-up to course registration.

ARTS: Suffolk University PAO students sang their hearts out at Fenway Park as they kicked off Fenway’s College Series, singing the National Anthem before the Boston Red Sox vs. Baltimore Orioles game April 10.

Members of various Suffolk performing arts groups got a behind-the-scenes tour of Fenway Park before walking on the field and singing for the entire ballpark following the first pitch.

Members of The Common, Rampage, Ramifications and more practiced for the first and only time together on the street outside the park before coming together and kicking off the game.

“When I was singing on the field, all I could think about was my fifth-grade self, watching her first Red Sox game at Fenway and just starting to find her passion for music, and knowing how glad she would be to know that she’s having the opportunity to stand on the field and sing,” said junior Carson Stiles, lead singer for The Common. “It was almost euphoric knowing that I had made it to a place to be able to do that, and doing it with my friends made it all the more incredible.”

NEWS: The solar eclipse on April 8 left some Suffolk University students in awe of outer space’s phenomena and many feeling underwhelmed about the results of the eclipse.

A solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between the sun and the earth. According to NASA, it creates a shadow on Earth and depending on where you’re watching the eclipse, the moon will fully block out the sun.

The last solar eclipse was in 2017, and the next one is projected for Aug. 23, 2044, according to NASA.

“It’s not an experience we all get to see on a normal basis,” said Jocelyn Sammy, a senior psychology major.

OPINION: The Boston Marathon is not just a race, a day the Red Sox don the blue and yellow jerseys or a memorial. It’s a celebration of the Boston community.

It’s been 11 years since the tragedy of the Boston Marathon Bombing. That’s roughly 4,015 days, more than 1,782 Sox Games and 288.3 Boston Marathon miles.

But the support for those we lost has not died out — and neither has Boston’s pride.

In the week leading up to this year’s race, there was a buzz in the air. The weather was getting warmer, the barriers started to be constructed, tourist shops switched out the Harvard crewnecks for blue and yellow hoodies and more and more people began to fill the city.

NEWS: At Suffolk’s chapter of Planned Parenthood Generation Action, nothing is a taboo subject. From safe s*x to the what’s what in politics, PPGA discusses it all, and encourages students to as well.

When seniors Emily Puchalski and Natalie Lapointe heard about the 2022 Supreme Court ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade, they knew they needed to create a space on campus to advocate for their rights and to spread awareness about the topics many don’t want to discuss.

“Natalie and I were roommates in the spring of 2022 when the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade was leaked, and we were really upset. And I was like, ‘You know what? I’m sick of this. We need something on campus to spread awareness, advocate for our rights and have a safe space for people to talk about these kinds of things,’” said Puchalski.

With the help of parent company Planned Parenthood and Suffolk University’s Office of Student Leadership and Involvement, PPGA President Puchalski and Vice President Lapointe brought this advocacy to life.
