On Sundays, students often find themselves cramming in homework due Monday morning and catching up on chores and errands they neglected during the weekend. But on certain Sundays, Medill junior Allison Ledwon, an RA in Shepard Hall, mingles with residents from her floor and from across the Shepard/1838 Chicago Residential Community, giving out the two things every college student wants: prizes and free food.
To help the campus celebrate the upcoming holiday season, Alice Millar Chapel will be holding “A Festival of Lessons and Carols” on Sunday, December 3. This service will feature a mixture of biblical readings and traditional sacred music performed by student musical groups.
Life can be such a monotonous ride if you allow practicality to dominate your schedule. What if you were given the chance to try something new? What if you were able to explore a topic you’ve always wanted to learn? What if you took an hour off to just have fun? Would you do it?
Even amidst the stress of finals, it’s important for students to practice self-care by taking breaks from studying. Starting on Friday, December 1, Norris will be hosting a variety of fun events where students can eat, relax, and hang out with friends.

Attending a university in such close proximity to Chicago comes with many perks. Through Northwestern University’s partnerships with the Art Institute of Chicago and the Museum of Contemporary Art of Chicago, there are opportunities to see a wide variety of artwork for free.
Since its formation in 2010 as a part of Health Promotion and Wellness (HPaW), Northwestern’s Center for Awareness, Response, and Education (CARE) has provided a safe, confidential space for students impacted by sexual or relationship violence to get the support they need. This fall, CARE has transitioned into its own independent office in an effort to continue providing students with high levels of service.
