Fish Wang ’23, who moved to the United States from China this past June, had been encouraged to study abroad at some point in his academic career. Wang grew up in what he describes as an “atypical Asian family” that gave him a lot of freedom in choosing what to do with his life. Wang’s parents first asked him whether he wanted to study abroad in grade nine, and they decided as a family that he would be completing his higher education outside of China. Wang spoke English and Mandarin, so he looked at universities in English-speaking countries. After much consideration, he decided to attend a school in the United States, a country he perceived to be vibrant, diverse and vivid.
For Fish, other Mandarin speakers are a support network to help him feel more at home.
To ease his transition, Wang researched American culture!
Members of the Brandeis PERIOD club traveled to Boston City Hall Plaza to join other PERIOD chapters in celebrating National Period Day on Oct. 19. In an interview with the Justice, Linzy Rosen ’22, founder and current president of the Brandeis PERIOD chapter, stated that the group wanted to achieve two goals at the downtown Boston celebration: to “bring attention to a highly stigmatized issue” — menstruation and associated struggles — and to rally in support of the ‘I AM’ bill, which Rosen said “would provide funding, if passed, for period products to be available in public schools, prisons and homeless shelters.”
Brandeis’ mission statement claims that the University prepares students for “full participation in a changing society,” and with over 20 political and activist student organizations, a political event on campus is not a rare sight.

In the first part of this two-part exploration of politics on campus, the Justice spoke with representatives of Brandeis for Bernie and Brandeis for Warren about their organizing for the 2020 campaign.

During Saturday’s bake sale, the Justice had the opportunity to interview team member Vidisha Jha ’23 and captains Tess Kowalski ’21 and Jeremy Goodsnyder ’20 about the triumphs and challenges of the semester so far and their hopes for the future.

When rain started pouring on Brandeis on Oct. 11, it drenched the hundreds of rainbow flags that decorated campus. It was National Coming Out Day, memorialized at Brandeis by “Pride Deis,” a daylong event for LGBTQ+ community at Brandeis to celebrate and be celebrated.
Christina’s parents met in Australia while attending an English learning program. Shortly after, they moved to Korea, where they “dated a bit and then got married,” Christina explained. In an attempt to maintain and improve the language skills that he had gained abroad, her father chose to attend Ohio State University a few years later. Christina’s mother moved with him, and in January of 2001, Christina was born at the Ohio State University Hospital, where she received a lot of attention from the nurses for being the only Asian baby. Two years later, her father decided to attend Columbia University to pursue his master’s degree, and her family settled in New Jersey where they remained until Christina finished fifth grade.
TAKE PRIDE: Student Union Vice President Guillermo Caballero ’20 proposed the idea of Pride Deis as a day to build a sense of community for LGBTQ+ students on campus.
HOMEWARD BOUND: When she was 10, Christina moved from New Jersey back to her parent’s homeland in South Korea, before moving back to the United States to attend Brandeis. She spoke about the challenges and triumphs of creating her identity across both continents.
OVER THE RAINBOW: On a rainy day last week, hundreds of rainbow flags brought color to Brandeis’s campus in celebration of National Coming Out Day and Pride Deis.
