    Every day, UGA students walk past the many historical buildings the nation’s first state-chartered university has to offer, like the Fine Arts building or LeConte Hall on North Campus. While these buildings house the 8 A.M. morning classes or club meetings that students bus in and out for, they also hold a rich history and key component of the evolution of UGA and other public universities around the U.S. The development of such universities was due in large part to the investment and resources supplied to state universities during the New Deal.

On September 2, 2026, journalist, feminist, and activist Gloria Steinem died at 92 years old. When asked, my grandmother described Steinem as “a trailblazer, who certainly put women’s rights out on the front lines.” Having lived through Roe v. Wade and its reversal in 2022 by Dobbs, she witnessed some of the biggest changes in American abortion policy firsthand. But, taking a deeper look at Steinem’s life, she represents a much larger shift in American policy.

    Today, social media is an ever-present part of daily life, which makes it difficult for us to consider the potential harm it may be causing us. Australian economist Andrew Leigh and mental health researcher Steven Robson found that, among minors, social media correlates with a rise in mental health disorders, self-harm hospitalizations, and suicide attempts, along with sleep disruption, sexual harassment, cyberbullying, and attention/focus problems.

In George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Fire and Ice series, the Iron Bank is a quietly menacing figure that lingers in the background of Westeros’s civil war. The exact power wielded by the world’s most powerful financial institution is made clear when the Queen Regent Cersei Lannister informs the Iron Bank that she would delay repayment indefinitely. In response to Cersei’s default, her creditor throws its financial heft behind another rival, quadrupling his forces overnight and shifting the war’s balance in one fell swoop.
