The legendary Sir Elton John has officially released yet another album. This new release, “Who Believes in Angels?” is a collaboration between John and 11-time Grammy Award winner Brandi Carlile. After meeting over 20 years ago through a letter Carlile sent John, the two have been almost inseparable ever since. Their unique voices and styles combine to create an upbeat album filled with influences from the past.

The hardest part of studying abroad? Packing up my entire life into two suitcases. Alright, Gabby, that’s dramatic. But seriously, packing four months of outfits into two suitcases for an entire semester is difficult. After hours upon hours of TikTok research, three separate lists in my Notes app and one mom sitting with me while I packed, I feel confident I can share some of my best packing advice for studying abroad. The Art of Squashing and Shoving Light. Pack light.

All 26 international students at Webster University who recently had their visas revoked and SEVIS records terminated have had their records fully restored, Chancellor Tim Keane announced today. Earlier this month, 24 Webster students lost their visas, as well as had their records purged from the Student Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS), a U.S. Department of Homeland Security database.

Back in October 2023, a top agent stated in a Wrap article that A24 executive Noah Sacco was looking to expand into a mainstream audience, approaching various agencies in search of potential “big IP [intellectual property] projects.” The thought of A24 going “commercial” may seem bizarre, but it sadly makes sense. Where else could an independent studio go after releasing several Oscar-winning films? It’s a strategy that has become more apparent since the article’s release.

Webster University’s chess team made history earlier this month as the most successful collegiate chess program after topping the 2025 President’s Cup and winning its seventh national championship. The competition, hosted by the University of Texas at Dallas (UT Dallas), went down to the wire, but the Gorloks emerged triumphant by the barest of margins. On the opening day of the tournament, Webster played UT Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) and UT Dallas.

Hey! My name is Brian Rubin, and I am a graduating senior here, earning a dual degree in journalism and business administration. As I’ve been reflecting on my time at Webster University, I can truly say that I’m proud to be a Gorlok. Choosing Webster is one of the best decisions I‘ve ever made. With that being said, these are the 10 pieces of advice I would give to any student at Webster.

Studying abroad is a life changing experience. But without access to a steady income, it can get expensive quickly. As someone who travels to a new city or country every weekend, those expenses can add up. So here are some tips and tricks I use to save a few bucks here and there. Because let’s be real — in today’s world, we’re all trying to save money. Groceries: Hofer is the Austrian Aldi, and it has budget friendly grocery prices. All of my food for the week comes from there.

Over a hundred footsteps echoed across the Sverdrup halls, unusual for the typically quiet Friday evenings. A hearty crew of students flew around, flagging down one another as they ensured everybody was on the same page about an event over eight months in the making — the world’s largest audio student summit. CRASS, the Central Regional Audio Student Summit, is an annual, weekend-long event that aims to further the interests and education of young audio engineers.

In the past week, our student newsroom has been monitoring news events like never before. With student visas getting revoked and an incident of sexual assault on campus, our staff has been actively learning how to approach riskier types of coverage. Covering these breaking news events comes amid celebration: This past weekend, our publication received 14 awards for reporting excellence in service to our community.

A wave of outrage has swept through the Webster Groves community following reports that more than 20 Webster University international students had their visas revoked or their student exchange records terminated. As the news circulated among members of a private Facebook group, Webster Groves Community Connection, users flooded the comments. “This is infuriating!!” wrote a former neighbor of Webster University who once rented rooms to international students.
