Out of all of the retellings of The Wizard of Oz, The Wiz is the best one to me. And yes — while the 1939 movie is a cinematic marvel, I’ll always reach for the 1978 movie starring Diana Ross and Michael Jackson first.

Fellas and fellows, is it queer to see your best friend wreathed in golden light every time you look at him?
According to the Duffer brothers, that answer is a firm no.
Dr. Karen J. Leader, an art history professor at Florida Atlantic University, spent roughly two months on paid administrative leave after being accused of “making comments” about the shooting of late conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

With executive elections approaching at Florida Atlantic University, students are being asked to choose not just candidates, but competing visions for what Student Government (SG) should be. And in the Boca Raton Governor race, that choice feels especially clear.
Most students aren’t thinking about Student Government (SG). They’re thinking about making it to next month: rent, food, gas, tuition, and more. That’s why this election matters. SG controls money and influence that should translate into tangible help for students, not stalled projects, unclear spending, and promises that disappear after election day.

If you’re not already practically living in Campus Rec’s cardio room, their win as our reader-voted “Best Place To WorkOut” should be your hint that you’re missing out. Good news, though. You can still join the party.
Nicholas “Nick” Ostheimer didn’t win Best Student Activist by being the loudest voice in the room. He won by being the one who keeps organizing after the crowd goes home, stacking wins that are hard to ignore and even harder to replicate.
If you’ve walked the Breezeway this semester, you’ve probably seen them — clipboards in hand, tempting you with a free donut, stopping everybody and their mother to ask the same question: “Are you registered to vote?”
As 2025 comes to a close and 2026 blossoms, I’m proud (and honestly a little emotional) to say I’ve officially served as OutFAU’s Executive Editor since October 2024, and now for another full semester. This year has been busy in the best way: loud, queer, creative, occasionally chaotic, and always community-powered.
