Dune: Shifting Sands, Shifting Standards
About two months ago, on March 1st, 2024, “Dune: Part Two” released in theaters to critical acclaim and smashing financial success.

Revamping the Temoc Brand
The UTD brand is an absolute mess, and at the core of this issue is the school’s failure to properly utilize the TEMOC brand.

Don’t Dismiss Young Adult Literature
As a kid, I would always run to the Young Adult section when I would go to the library. I remember being utterly obsessed with book series like “Maximum Ride,” “Gossip Girl,” and “Twilight,” and would constantly read and reread these books whenever I had the chance. A lot of the books and series that […]
