Sohum Uppal, Editor of Science & Technology

Sohum Uppal (‘25) likes to build cars during his free time. Yes, you heard that right — not toy cars or miniature models, but life-sized, mechanical engines used for transportation. Currently embroiled in fixing a motorcycle, he finds peace in tinkering with nuanced components to enliven a fully functional vehicle. Just like how he enjoys fine-tuning wires and relocating structures, Sohum lives for the thrill of transforming numbers and functions when he tries to solve math problems. In fact, he had been learning math during the past summer while making chicken boxes at Raising Cane's and playing with his Siberian husky, Astro. Sohum’s productive break ended a week earlier than most of his peers, because of his new leadership role as the student government’s serotonin commissioner. He loved planning community events such as the Welcome Back Dance and hopes to give students a boost of happiness, especially during stressful times. Sohum looks forward to establishing genuine connections with the Webb community this year through community service and sports. As the Science and Technology Section Editor in the WCC, he strives to increase related articles with his passion for STEM. One thing is for certain: the Tech section is in great hands.

Cindy Lopez, Executive Assistant, finalizes the plans for Dies Mulieris and Men in the Arena. She is responsible for planning the logistics of the event, including communicating with outside organizations and assigning activity groups on a spreadsheet. “I made sure everyone got something out of this experience,” Ms. Lopez said. Without her work behind the scenes, the many moving pieces of the symposium would have fallen apart.

The Webb football team practices in heavy helmets and shoulder pads despite temperatures exceeding one hundred degrees. The scorching heat beats down on the players causing them to feel more fatigued during drills. “We had to persevere through the heat despite how our bodies felt,” said Jordan McCray (‘24), a football player. “I saw a couple of my teammates throwing up, it was so bad.”
