BREAKING: Suffolk University President Marisa Kell

BREAKING: Suffolk University President Marisa Kelly announced in an email June 26 that the university closed on the purchase of a property set to become an additional residence hall on campus to address the growing housing demands of students.

Kelly said the university plans to convert 101 Tremont Street, an 11-story building home to Beantown Pub across the street from the Granary Burial Ground, into residence halls for 260 to 290 students, pending a permit and review process by the city of Boston. It would be Suffolk’s sixth residence hall.

NEWS: Suffolk University Resident Assistants hold

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 Journa

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 arrest

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 Wal

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

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. ⁠

NEWS: As Suffolk University’s class of 2024 is looking forward to donning their caps and gowns and stepping into their future careers, many took a moment to reflect on their undergraduate experience at Suffolk.⁠
⁠
Many seniors graduated high school in 2020 amid the coronavirus pandemic, losing the opportunity for a traditional graduation and the chance to say goodbye after four years. For their Suffolk graduation, students are excited to step in front of friends and family to celebrate this occasion.⁠
⁠
For Matthew Lee, a political science major and Student Government Association treasurer, starting college during a pandemic changed his whole approach to college.⁠

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.”⁠
