The new academic year is in full swing and it started with a three-day orientation for incoming EMU students. As a student who went through First Four as a freshman and through First Three as an NSOA (New Student Orientation Assistant) leading into my junior and senior years, I would argue that it is among the best EMU programs and has made a positive impact on countless first-year students and student leaders.

In last week’s third Democratic primary debate, Sen.

The second round of Democratic debates was hosted on Tuesday and Wednesday of the last week in July. Candidates sought to debate the merits of bold policy ideas such as Medicare For All and more handily debate their opponents on their political records. Candidates mostly accomplished to highlight the partisan divides within the Democratic party as sound-bytes and accusations of “Republican talking points” controlled the narrative.

“13 Reasons Why” created considerable buzz upon its release in March 2017, prompting many teens and young adults to take a closer look at issues like suicide and sexual violence.
I excitedly binged the first season within the first several days after it appeared on Netflix and was intrigued by the differences between the book and the series. Most notably, the graphic depictions of suicide and sexual assault.

After not qualifying for the first Democratic debate in June by the DNC’s polling and fundraising standards, Gov. Steve Bullock (D-Mont.) handily qualified for the second upcoming debates - replacing Eric Swalwell, who quit in early July. The presidential hopeful has been pushing two narratives: that he won statewide in a Trump state by a comfortable margin and that he will take his battles with dark money to the national stage.

FiveThirtyEight released their polling data following the first two debates in a project with the Morning Consult, which tracks how their debate performance affected their favorability as compared to where they stood pre-debate. Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren were seen as the big winners over the first two debates by their surge in favorability, with former Housing Secretary Julián Castro also polling well compared to before the debate. Other candidates did not necessarily see a dip in favorability, at least not a statistically significant one, but they weren’t viewed as doing necessarily well, either.
