In 2014, Sam Powell 17' wrote the article Jesuit Welcomes New Museum Director, which profiled new director of the Jesuit Dallas Museum, Elizabeth Hunt Blanc.

With the oddities of the past year involving Covid, as well as the reconstruction of the theatre, Jesuit's Stage...
Painting, woodwork, cooking… vinyl? The COVID-19 pandemic certainly wreaked havoc across a significant number of staple pastimes, but in its wake, millions of Americans turned to new or neglected hobbies to combat the boredom of quarantine. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) confirmed in a 2020 mid-year report that record sales surpassed CDs for the first time since...
