Farewells are always challenging, but as the end of the fall semester approaches, it’s time to say goodbye to those who are graduating early. Graduating and receiving an undergraduate degree is a remarkable accomplishment that takes endless hours of hard work, dedication and focus. With this in mind, The Justice Editorial Board congratulates all who are graduating in December, and wants to take this opportunity to honor Justice Arts and Culture Editor Maeve Coakley ’25 who will be graduating in the coming weeks.  

In the spring 2024 semester, Maeve started writing for The Justice’s Arts and Culture section, contributing insightful reviews and critical commentary about theater performances, books, movies and television shows. 

During her term as section editor, Maeve has been an absolute joy to have in the office — she is a constant source of laughter and reassurance for our editors and staff. Her positive energy and humor always liven our late nights spent putting the paper together. Maeve is truly a remarkable editor, and her ideas, patience, kindness and talent have been invaluable assets to the arts section. 

At The Justice we understand that life after graduation can be ambiguous and scary. We wish the graduating seniors all the luck in the world for their time after Brandeis and we wish the same and more towards Maeve, but we know she doesn’t need our wishes to succeed.
