What We've Learned
What We've Learned has been discontinued 😢
Nonetheless, please enjoy the beloved archives below!
Welcome to What We've Learned, AKA your favorite newsletter's favorite newsletter.
On even-numbered weeks throughout each quarter, this odd publication aims to provide Tritons with timely, pertinent information and (we hope) clever wordplay in equal measure.
It all started with ramen.
Originally borne out of necessity during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic -- when we learned that flushing instant ramen in on-campus residences was messing with our wastewater-monitoring system -- WWL has evolved into a one-stop shop for (ir)regular updates from Student Affairs and Campus Life at UC San Diego.
Don't get excited, be excited. You'll find the most recent edition below, along with our complete archive of past publications. Poke around, have fun, and even learn a little something. We're glad you're here. - Ian
