ARTS: Suffolk University’s WSFR and Emerson Coll

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.”⁠

NEWS: For many Suffolk undergraduates, law school

NEWS: For many Suffolk undergraduates, law school is right around the corner. It wasn’t such an easy journey for senior political science student Ashlyn Curtis, however.⁠
⁠
For Curtis, who will attend St. John’s Law School in the fall, the next steps after graduation were anything but black and white. ⁠
⁠
Curtis grew up in the suburbs of Connecticut and was eager to get to the city to pursue her passion for law. Curtis came to Suffolk with an excitement for the opportunity to go to law school. Knowing Suffolk Law was right next door, she knew she was heading to the right place to prepare her for what came next.⁠

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.⁠

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.⁠

NEWS: As the spring semester draws to a close and Suffolk University students begin preparing for their next semester, Suffolk switched from using WebAdvisor and SelfService for student resources to Workday Student. ⁠
⁠
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.”⁠
