A few weeks ago, thousands of Brunonians traveled to Cambridge, Massachusetts, to watch what can only be described as a slaughter. Losing 7-41 doesn’t do justice to the depressing nature of Brown’s performance. It was a horrible game, at least an hour away, and yet, it still posted the best attendance ...
In the wake of a $46 million budget deficit announced at the end of 2024, Brown has vigorously worked towards finding ways to close it. One of the University’s strategies has been to create new online master’s programs like the master’s in management and master’s of science in organizational ...
