In college, there are so many different activities students have to juggle. Between balancing academics, clubs, dating and just finding time for themselves, it can be hard for young adults to navigate the little facets of life. So it’s no surprise that dating apps like Tinder and Bumble that make dating and meeting new people more accessible have been so eagerly welcomed by the college community. With the world at our literal fingertips, it is almost too easy to slide into the world of dating (and that cute kid’s DMs).

The Department of African and African American Studies (AAAS), established on April 24, 1969, is celebrating its 50th anniversary this week, but the history of Black students and their influence at Brandeis existed long before then. The legacy of Black intellectuals like Ralph Bunche — scholar, eventual Nobel Peace Prize recipient and Brandeis’ first convocation speaker — and Brandeis’ first Black graduate Herman Hemingway ’53, founder of the University’s NAACP chapter, helped Brandeis establish its reputation as an institution of social change.

“Welcome to Brandeis!” Orientation Leaders said with huge smiles on their faces. I remember the first day I came onto campus as an official Brandeis student during move-in day on a hot August afternoon. Looking back, even though it was only a few months ago, it feels like years.

Avi Hirshbein ’19 could have pursued his passion for music the old-fashioned way. Upon arriving at Brandeis, he might have honed his musical abilities by taking lessons in the three instruments he taught himself to play: the piano, the guitar and the ukulele. If that had gone well, he could have joined the Brandeis orchestra or a student ensemble. Instead, realizing the odds of fame and success as a musician were remote, he decided to create his own record label called Basement Records.

It’s been over 150 years since Henry David Thoreau walked the shores of Walden Pond. Today, Thoreau’s old stomping ground is largely as it was back then, but with more visitors and a parking lot a few hundred yards from the shore. The natural beauty of the space and its seclusion from civilization attracted the young transcendentalist whose two-year experiment living in a cabin on the grounds led to the creation of his best-known book, “Walden; or Life in the Wood.” Today, it’s unclear if the visitors at Walden Pond pull off the road in Concord searching for similar revelations about the capacity for inner growth in solitude. Either way, Walden Pond continues to offer its visitors an escape.
