Brandeis University is in a time of profound change. COVID-19 has fundamentally altered the college experience, and we are just beginning to understand its ramifications. Right now is the time to set a new direction for our University. I want to be my fellow students’ advocate during this time at the Board of Trustees, the most powerful decision-making body of our University. The Board makes the most important choices in the University: who becomes president, how and where money is spent, and the overall direction of the University.

Fear-mongering is a tactic commonly used by climate change activists to provoke people to make a change before it is “too late.” The White House National Climate Advisor, Gina McCarthy, passionately disagrees with this approach. “The worst thing I think you can do is say that the world is falling apart, and I have no way of fixing it,” she said, her Boston accent coming out strong, pronouncing “apart” more like “apaht.”

Last semester I took “Fundamentals of Environmental Challenges” wth Prof. Perlman (ENVS), or more commonly known as “tree class.” I was taking it for my science requirement and had not taken a science class since my junior year of high school. Yet, we had two whole days where we talked about the U.S. budget. We had assignments where we were required to read the news to learn about the environment. When multiple times during the semester Congress was close to not raising the debt ceiling, Prof. Perlman would emphasize the stakes of what that would mean. There was no specific environmental component to discussing the debt ceiling — he just wanted us to be informed. As a politics major, I am used to professors talking about current events in my classes, but this was the first class in which a non-politics professor cared so much about keeping us politically informed. I was and still am in awe of Prof. Perlman and how much he cared.

“Don’t Look Up,” directed by Adam McKay, came out in December 2021. It’s a disaster film about an impending comet approaching Earth and the two scientists that discovered the danger.

This fall, through the Legal Studies Practicum (LGLS-145A) with Prof. and Chair of the Legal Studies Department Rosalind Kabrhel, my classmates and I were able to get involved with a diverse array of hands-on experiential learning opportunities. Through this practicum, we were able to experience the importance of educational interventions in the communities we worked with, as a way to marginally counteract systemic disadvantages. The hands-on approach to experiential learning allowed us to synthesize and apply the themes of this course’s readings through a critical and concrete lens.
