The team progressed beyond the first round of the championship, winning against conference rival University of Scranton but eventually being defeated in a tense game by local opponent Washington College. The ceremony, held on Goucher’s basketball court, honored the forty-five players who helped the team achieve their outstanding successes last season, with many of the graduating seniors returning to help honor those accomplishments.

Boy bands are our past, our present, and our future. From the Beatles to One Direction, boy bands have been a part of all of our lives.

There are those of us who dreamed of baby-faced Justin Timberlake, and danced in our rooms to every N’Sync song, wondering what in the world the “ice on my neck” was that he sang about so passionately in “Dirty Pop.”

Then there are those of us who thought boy bands were dumb, yet still caught ourselves bopping around in the backseat when Backstreet Boys’ “I Want It That Way” came on the radio.

One particular type of student that is overlooked is the international student. Goucher has hosted many different people from around the world, from countries near and far such as England, South Korea, China, and Australia. This semester Goucher is hosting two students from Down Under. Sophomore Kahlia Johnson is studying for her Bachelors of Science in psychology and junior Samantha Jones is studying for her Bachelors of Business, majoring in marketing and public relations.

The Education club, Chalkboard, is a small but big-hearted club on campus that has taken on a worthy service project this holiday season.  Led by students, Allisyn Grantham ‘14 and Melissa Grow ‘14, the club has set a goal of collecting 100 Pillow Pets by December 7th for children who are critically ill and will be hospitalized through the holiday season. The Pillow Pet drive is to support the Touching Lives with Comfort Foundation (TLC).

TLC aims to provide comfort to critically ill children and their families in the Baltimore area. Dr. Mary Adkins, Chalkboard’s faculty supervisor said, “For children who are critically ill and spend weeks and even months in the hospital, being away from their friends and families can be very difficult. A small gesture such as a Pillow Pet can provide comfort to a young child. My daughter’s best friend was recently diagnosed with leukemia and was the recipient of a Pillow Pet during her stay at Johns Hopkins. Her smile upon receiving her pink and purple unicorn Pillow Pet could have lit up the room.”
