Sharing their love for history,  Troy’s History Club members held their annual Valentine’s Day party last Wednesday, offering students a chance to make connections, compete for prizes and unwind through friendly competition.   The event opened with a lively social gathering followed by a battle of members' historical knowledge through a Valentine’s Day–themed Kahoot.  “We just started doing this a couple of years ago,” said History Club President Matilda Ziegler, a senior Ame

Coffee and Conversations continued to provide students at Troy with a space   to engage in open dialogue and learn from one another through respectful discussions.   Sadie Noris, a freshman marketing major from Mobile, Alabama, said she first attended after hearing about the program from a friend.  “She was telling me how it opens your eyes to more issues,” Noris said. “You always   get to talk to people you don’t really talk to normally, so you get to open your mind and crea

Troy’s National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) came together and made valentine’s cards last Thursday. Students were encouraged to come in and grab supplies to make homemade cards for residents of a local nursing home.  “We wanted to do something for the community,” said Shania Brunson, a junior exercise science major from Tuskegee, Alabama. “It feels so much more heartfelt giving handmade cards than just cards from the store.  “It’s so important to learn about loving your commu

At the end of the day, you still have your pets to keep you company.   Cancer: You’re not too fond of this holiday. You th

Don Toliver is what some may call an acquired taste but consider me convinced. I’ve been a pseudo-fan of Toliver since the Covid era, when he first started getting popular with the release of “No Idea” and various other songs from the “Heaven or Hell” album.   Toliver has been slowly growing in fame since his  TikTok blastoff, releasing several albums since 2020. Some of his biggest hits include “NEW DROP,” “No Pole” and “After Party.” His most recent album, however, “OCTANE,

During the recent January snow day, many people were concerned the road conditions would cause car accidents-- kind of like the one that sets off the events of Stephen King’s “Misery” (1987).   When considering the possibility of road issues with the weather, most folks probably were not worried about being abducted from their vehicle and held hostage until they were forced to write an entire book.   That is exactly the predicament that King’s main character, Paul Sheldon, fi

Troy’s University Activities Council (UAC) held a dating game event last Wednesday focused on the personality of students rather than their looks in preparation for Valentine's Day.  The Blind Dating Game sat three or more contestants on one side of a curtain and one single contestant – called the bachelor or bachelorette – on the other side. The bachelor/bachelorette’s job was to ask questions for all contestants on the other side to answer, then pick which one was their fav
