Your Best and Brightest | Tali Beckwith-Cohen We run clubs, we start projects, we advocate for ourselves and for fellow students. We have watched the most documented genocide in history play out, have watched our international friends be targeted...

These are my students. I could not be prouder of them for having the moral compass and clarity to act in the face of craven college administrators and enabling politicians.

NICKEL BOYS | Official Trailer
YouTube video by Amazon MGM Studios NICKEL BOYS | Official Trailer

Nickel Boys is not like any film I’ve ever seen before. Surreal. Haunting. Visually intense in all the right ways.

President of Barnard let us know Monday that we can no longer take 1st class flights or stay at 5 star hotels for conferences. I wish I had known this was possible. Also… our healthcare is going up 40%.
