Major headlines tend to shift more towards his shakeup of the bureaucracy with “shutting down” the DOE, ending USAID, or the havoc wreaked with the erroneous deportations.

However, not as much light has been shed on Trump’s foreign policy which is in response to an international system that is shifting before us.

Such shifts in perceived global threats and the position of the United States then begs the question of the world’s most prominent military alliance: NATO — and what its future entails, if there should be any.

The emergence of AI chatbots, notably Chat GPT, has brought forth various debates on the legitimacy of this tool in the space of academia. 

First launched in late 2022, Chat GPT has a generally notorious reputation in academic spaces as it has only made cheating much more accessible and easier. Don’t get it twisted, the concerns AI presents to students are very real and valid.

The description of the senior CAS project is simple: develop a plan for an activity that allows for creativity, activity and community service. Nearly every senior chooses to do a CAS project, many seeing it as a simple way to get out of school early without doing all that much work. 

For Ben Demase, however, his CAS project is a chance to make Valley history by writing, composing and directing his own original musical, “The Gunslinger.”
