I recently picked up a copy of Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, a Roman Emperor and famous Stoic.
OUTFAU
Right-wing fanatics wish to silence and erase the LGBTQ community – from our history and culture to everything in between. This is why we launched OutFAU. LGBTQ students need a voice. And we will be that voice.

Being fully mindful and aware in this day and age is both a blessing and a curse. Add to that the weight of belonging to one, or many, disenfranchised groups: women, people of color, LGBTQ+, differently abled, living with a mental illness, or simply trying to make ends meet, and it’s no wonder so many of us wake up already tired.
OutFAU’s sponsor, PRISM, offers a deep library of digital resources for LGBTQ+ youth and allies.
“Congress shall make no law…abridging…the right of the people… to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
From campus boards to federal courts, Americans have concrete ways to demand change, bounded by rules against abuse.
“Congress shall make no law…abridging…the right of the people to assemble…”
“Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom…of the press.”

“Tartuffe” opened FAU’s Theatre & Dance 2025-26 production season, and the company set the bar high for a successful year.
“Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom…of speech…”
The fight over speech isn’t whether it’s allowed—but when conduct, context, or role transforms it into something the law doesn’t protect.
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…”
On public campuses, government must stay neutral on religion — protecting private practice while barring school-sponsored worship or coercion.
It has certainly been an interesting time since our New Student Edition in August.
