Located on Austin Street in Forest Hills, 5 Burro Cafe stands out with its bright yellow awning, drawing eyes and customers from all five boroughs.

One thing is certain after my experience there: anyone who goes will be met with a welcoming ambiance and delicious food.

Upon arrival, I was greeted by a friendly hostess and given a menu of various Mexican dishes and drinks. Having been to a few restaurants in Mexico myself, I wondered how this restaurant would compare. Seeing multiple tempting options ranging from fajitas and quesadillas to tacos, burritos, enchiladas and even soups intensified that curiosity.

On Sat. March 28th, the Queens College Women's and Men's Track & Field Team competed in their first meet of the outdoor Track and Field season.

Although the team faced harsh wind and cold temperatures as they competed, it did not stop them from giving an outstanding performance to start the season.

The City University of New York announced in March 2026 that it will award $3 million to 113 campus-led initiatives through its new Al Innovation Fund, a one-year systemwide grant program funded as part of Governor Hochul's efforts to position New York as a leader in artificial intelligence.

According to CUNY's official announcement, the projects are centered around four core areas:
Student and Academic Support, Al in Courses, Addressing Ethical and Social Implications of AI and AI Education and Literacy.

Considered the largest TED×University event in the nation, TEDxCUNY returned with their 9th annual conference this year centered around the theme,
"PLAYBACK" in the Gerald W. Theater at John Jay College of Criminal Justice on Apr. 17th.

The event was hosted by Hibba Fatima, a Political Science student at City College of New York and Robert Rada, a Media Studies student at Hunter College. In total, there were seven speakers and five performances with raffles and giveaways scheduled near the end of the conference.

At the recent opening reception for the language of representation exhibition at Queens Hall, these two seemingly disparate disciplines prove they speak the same dialect.

By weaving together analog tradition and multimedia innovation, the exhibition serves as a collaborative reflection of what it means to live work and create in New York City today.

The conceptual foundation of the exhibition was born from an ambitious desire for cross disciplinary dialogue, inviting the audience to see themselves as part of this shared conversation.

Life as a student at Queens College can be difficult for many as there is rigorous coursework, hard deadlines, exams and more. Now imagine practicing multiple times a week, early morning workouts and traveling long distances for games on top of all that.
This is the reality for student athletes, including QC's very own star pitcher Michael Vilardi.

Vilardi is a key contributor to the Knights, posting a .338 batting average and has received East Coast Conference honors on multiple occasions. The Massapequa native grew up rooting for current Cubs' third baseman Alex Bregman, despite being a Mets fan, and wears legendary Met David Wright's No. 5 on his jersey. The number has also held significance in his family, as his grandmother's favorite player was the Yankees' Joe DiMaggio, who also wore it.

On February 26th, a student at Columbia University was detained by ICE agents under false pretences. ICE agents posed as NYPD searching for a missing child and entered the dorms without a warrant. This caused an uproar among students, leading them to call for action against ICE operations, as well as a call from Mayor Zohran Mamdani to have the student released.

Following this incident, students wonder what initiatives Queens College is taking to protect their students. Students on campus who are aware of the incident have expressed fear for their safety.

To assist students, Queens College's Immigrant Support Initiative guides students through immigration issues they may face. On the QC website, the Immigrant Support page has a list of different resources the college provides. It details your rights as an immigrant student and what procedures are in place in the event law enforcement comes to campus.
