The University launched the new website in late August. Students have had mixed reactions regarding the layout and accessibility. Members of The Outlook love the layout of the website and think it has modernized the way people look at the University’s technology. The major downside that The Outlook sees with the website is accessibility.

“With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility”
September has finally arrived; A month hated by some and praised by others. The smell of fresh school supplies and the ocean is in the air. Freshmen can be found everywhere on campus smiling from ear to ear, excited to start their journey while seniors give envious stares remembering their first move-in day. I am guilty of being one of those envious seniors.
Thank You For Everything President Gaffney
As the school year comes to a close, some of us say goodbye to the University for good, while others simply say “see ya later.” However, this concluding school year is not only bittersweet for graduating seniors but at the end of May, President Gaffney will also be saying his final goodbye.
The Outlook Reflects on Boston Bombing
Outlook Thoughts on the Boston Marathon Bombing
Every so often in our lifetime, an unspeakable tragedy strikes and impacts all of our lives in ways we never could have imagined. On Monday, April 15, 2013, several explosions occurred near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Many of us at The Outlook immediately suspected it to be a terrorist attack, but little did we know that the search for the terrorists would put the city of Boston on lockdown for a day while the heroic officers of law enforcement worked to catch the living suspect.
The Importance of Graduate Assistants
As University students, most of us have come in contact with and formed friendships with the graduate assistants that are employed with the departments or activities that we each choose to participate in as undergraduates.
Rutgers Proves Money is the Root of Evil in NCAA
By now, most have surely seen the video of former Rutgers’ Men’s Basketball Head Coach Mike Rice and how he would conduct his practices. Rice fired the ball at his players, pushed and shoved them, and yelled homophobic slurs at them.
Is Constant Campus Construction a Positive or Negative?
If anyone has stepped foot onto the campus over the past year, the tall tale signs reading “Please pardon our appearance while we are under construction” signal that campus construction is still whirling in its constant motion. For most students, the pounding of hammers and blocked-off pathways have become about as customary on campus as the historic Wilson Hall. With the constant construction for the past few years, some are left wondering what there really is to improve. Even more importantly is there anything worth further correcting at this time?
A New Hawk Joins the Nest
With the announcement of President Paul Gaffney II’s retirement last year, we knew it was only a matter of time before the University named its next president. That decision finally came on March 13, when the University named Lehigh’s current Dean of the College of Business and Economics, Dr. Paul R. Brown.
Has Spring Break Calmed Down Since the Early 2000s?
Legend has it that when spring break happens, everyone gets wild and crazy. We’re supposed to travel to exotic locales with beaches and a lower legal drinking age. We’re supposed to spend the nights out on the town and spend our days sleeping off hangovers. That’s what MTV taught us.
Think Outside Your Major
“Get involved;” next to “you’re late,” those are arguably the two most common words for a student to hear on a college campus. We spend much of our high school career being told to get involved in order to spice up our college applications and then, once in college, we’re further told to get involved to spice up our job résumé.
