Congratulations on completing Week 14 of the semester! I hope your Easter Break was refreshing and gave you a chance to recharge. The finish line is in sight, with just a few weeks left before the semester wraps up. Now is the perfect time to refocus, stay motivated, and make the most of your remaining time on campus this spring. The end of the semester can be a stressful time, so be sure to take care of yourself and reach out for support if you need it.

At Seton Hall, we are committed to being a welcoming, safe, supportive, and inclusive living and learning environment that fosters academic, spiritual and personal growth. Your health, safety and success are paramount in all we do. Catholic teaching urges us to welcome diversity and impels us to work for equity and justice, and so we seek to build inclusion, belonging, affinity and connection. We are proud that our diversity stimulates innovative teaching and learning, and believe that it prepares our students to live and work in a global society. Dedicated to the common good, the University is a community among communities, welcoming individuals from all faith traditions and from none, and attentive to the needs of its members and to the shared life made possible by its continued existence as a place of learning.

You Shared, We Listened!
Students - we've heard your feedback about campus food options, and we're excited to improve your student experience and take action! Now, we need your help in choosing a new dining option that best fits your needs. Your input will directly impact which franchise we bring to campus, so let us know what matters most to you! The options provided were selected based on student feedback, space, and budget. The new franchise would be located in the University Center, first floor (next to Pirate Express).

Philosophy Talk: "What Immigration Law? Refugees, Incompliance and the Rule of Law"
Date: April 30
Time: 5 – 6:30 p.m.
Location: University Center, Chancellor's Suite
The Department of Philosophy will host Ariana Peruzzi, Ph.D., who will give a talk entitled "What Immigration Law? Refugees, Incompliance and the Rule of Law." Sometimes, legal systems fail to live up to the ideals of the rule of law. When they fail badly enough, rule of law theorists say that we end up with something that is not really law at all but a collection of legal actions or arbitrary exercises of power. Peruzzi argues that this is what the United States has instead of a system of refugee law.
