  • Reimagined Lovell Hall To Open Term II

    At the start of Term 2, Lovell Hall will again be open and ready for use. Over the summer, significant progress was made on the construction of the new performing arts center. The new Lovell will have nearly twice the square footage as the old Lovell, and, with several levels, lots more volume. Drama teacher Michael Calderone said that “all of Hopkins is going to benefit from the renovation.” Complete with state of the art technology, Lovell “will be a place where we come together as a community,” Calderone shared.

Corrections

Bayan Atalib's Letter to the Editor, published in the June 7, 2024 issue of The Razor, referenced the International Court of Justice's use of the phrase "plausibly a genocide" to describe the situation in Gaza in its January 2024 ruling. Note that, although some news sources reported the story as such, the International Court of Justice did not use this phrasing. The Razor apologizes for the inaccurate quotation.
