I am just so thankful when I come across smart, reasonable, leaders who just really care about the community and want things to be right.

A young chemist, Lisa Mengotto (@lmengotto) has been writing for The Stute since the start of her Stevens career. She primarily addresses the successes and downfalls of Stevens and her love life.
I know that we’re the innovation university, but I feel like sometimes trying something new can be too risky and expensive.
I first learned of yesterday’s train crash at Hoboken Terminal through the Orientation Leaders Groupme. An OL asked if anybody was at the terminal and if everybody was okay and reminded everyone to check on commuter friends and friends who commute into the city.
I’m happy that former executive board and staff members worked so hard to improve The Stute, but I also hate how much progress they made because now it’s too easy for The Stute to just slip back underground.
It doesn’t take much for someone in Student Affairs to call a student a “leader” on this campus. Anyone who has held an executive board position, been part of the SGA, or served as an RA or OL has probably been told that they’re a campus leader.
It is so important to be authentic and to be proud of who you are. I don’t like to generalize often, but I feel like most Stevens students, faculty, and administrators all have a certain down-to-earth goofiness and aren’t afraid to show it.
The only thing that gets me through finals (other than coffee) is looking forward to the relaxing summer and then the new start next semester.
It is so easy to get caught up in the things that aren’t great at Stevens. Just pick up any issue of The Stute and you’re sure to find a variety of complaints covering academics, extracurricular, and Greek life.
Originally, I was going to talk about why being detailed-orientated is never overrated. Actually paying attention to what you’re doing and rechecking information is something that we all should do.
I spent last weekend running around campus “event hopping.” If you have ever opened up one of the Student Life Newsletter emails (which you definitely should because there is a lot of information about campus activity in general) or visited the Ducksync Events Calendar, you should know what I’m talking about.
