Voting in student elections is a predictor of future political engagement.

Unnecessary noises. Food with an overbearingly strong smell. Whispering in class. Raising your hand to ask condescending questions.

You can see it in their eyes, red from squinting at screens for hours on end. You can hear it in their shouts lobbed across the room as sections collaborate, commiserate and help the work along. It’s imbued in first drafts, on crumpled mock-ups and atop stacks of newly-printed Tuesday editions.
