Ice cream cream puffs are one of my favorite treats on a hot day, but I find that buying the tiny frozen puffs in stores are really not worth the price. The outside crust is not as crisp as a cream puff’s exterior should be, and there is not a large variety in flavor. These cream puffs are quite...

For those of us who have been lucky enough, we have never had an impending issue with a roommate before: We respected their space, we communicated our household responsibilities with one another and heck, maybe we’ve even become close friends with some of them. But not all of us are fortunate. We’ve all heard at least one of our...
The cornerstone of youthful energy and vibrance, a vivid display of art and soul in an open, outdoor venue, an extended period of time dedicated to one thing and one thing only: Letting loose and losing yourself in the music. Music festivals — simply put — are amazing. Or can be amazing, if you take the right precautions and...
Professor Richard Cardullo is a monumental figure at UCR whose name can be heard in all corners of the campus. He began as a professor of biology 26 years ago, researching the process of fertilization in animals as well as student learning in K-12 environments. Then, after receiving numerous awards in teaching and serving as the chair of the...
It’s a guiding value within UCR’s foundation and everyday campus life to promote diversity: We see it all around us in the peers we surround ourselves with, in the background of many of our establishments and in our unmatched interactiveness regarding topics that would otherwise go censored or unmentioned on other campuses.
