Transformation and change are surrounding us this semester at the University of St.Francis (USF). First-year students are taking their first steps into adulthood, staff and faculty are transitioning into new positions with new responsibilities and changes are being made to the physical parts of campus. We are seeing a transition at USF unlike anything we have experienced before. Last year was the hard kind of transition, the kind that we didn’t quite understand. While we kn

This year at University of St. Francis (USF), a lot of change is happening around campus with the addition of the new Student Success Center building. With the new building expanding into Tower Hall, departments have had the opportunity to move around campus. These changes have raised many questions among students and faculty. There is a shared concern among students about the relocation or closures of various departments, resources, and social gathering spots. To get deeper

Being a student-athlete requires a lot of responsibility. An athlete's diet is crucial, especially eating meals before and after training. With long days packed with classes, training and homework there is a lot to manage, leaving limited time to eat during their busy schedule. At the University of St. Francis (USF), some student-athletes say reliable dining options can be difficult when their practice schedules do not line up with the hours provided. The Terrace Cafe serves

The news was a shock to many, but it's well known that universities across the nation are facing a decrease in enrollment; combined with the debt accumulated under past administrations, the situation has gotten dire. Many lost their jobs, and students are getting increasingly worried, especially after March 17, 2026, when the suspension of numerous programs was announced as part of

This school year at the University of St. Francis (USF) has been a rollercoaster. Our small community has taken hit after hit, cut after cut. Majors have been cut, SGA clubs got their budgets slashed by 25% and campus favorite faculty and staff members have been laid off. Being a third-year student at USF, this school year was unlike anything I have experienced before. Specifically, as a resident who lives on campus, is involved in a variety of activities and whose major was

Spring semester has started and you may have noticed some things. Doors opened to classrooms you’ve never seen. Art supplies taking over a basement level room in the library. A short guy named Chester is walking everywhere, all the time, at every corner you turn. If you haven’t put the clues together, the Rialto campus is no longer. The Art Department has moved back to the main campus. For the university, this is the solution to some problems: We’re saving money on rent and t

For many, our mornings start with the sharp, blaring noise of an alarm, forcing us to wake up. Some of us are ready to tackle the day, while others may groan in an attempt to silence the echo in our minds of a new monotonous day; a list plays through: class, brush your teeth, draft paper, get dressed, reply to peers’ discussion posts, and so on. As a student, you’ve probably shared this sentiment numerous times. The absolute dread of an early morning or the hallucinogens of

With the rise of reorganization from budgets to curriculum and faculty, the University of St. Francis (USF) President, Dr. Ryan C. Hendrickson, announced the creation of a Strategic Initiatives Task Force that would undergo efforts to strengthen USF and build the foundation for a vibrant, sustainable future. This Task Force is composed of three distinct groups that each maintain differing areas of necessity, balancing USF’s Catholic, Franciscan heritage with the harsh financi

The USF Recreation Club (Rec Club) has made a presence on campus over the last few semesters with their monthly bonfires, slip-and-slides in the Quad and their annual spring break ski trip. This club made an effort to not only be inclusive to all students on campus, but also engage students in ways other clubs typically did not with outdoor activities. Like all the other clubs on campus, Rec Club also felt the budget cuts and had to adapt what their events looked like, which
