I am 23 years old, I have a government-issued ID and yet I’m being forced to consider getting a fake ID. I am from a country where I’ve legally been able to purchase alcohol since I was 16 and I don’t recall ever having had to show an ID. Now, almost eight years later, I […]

Fellow Aggies:   With the New Year upon us, I wanted to say hello and introduce this blog to help us keep in touch and maintain an ongoing conversation about issues and events on campus.  With more than 35,000 students at UC Davis and everyone busy, it can be a challenge to find time to […]

In Interstellar, Nolan depicts a dystopian world plagued by hunger, sandstorms and depleting resources. McConaughey portrays Cooper, a […]

Based on the Marvel comics of the same name, Big Hero 6 marks Disney’s first on-screen collaboration with the comic book company, who they […]
