On Sept. 14, the producers of Hulu hit series “Ramy” announced the return of a third season, which will hit the streaming service on Sept. 30. The debut of the show dates back to spring of 2019, and the show was later renewed for season two in May of the next year. The filming process of the second season was interrupted by the COVID-19 outbreak, and, cleverly, the producers of “Ramy” incorporated scenes of video call shots to tie the real-life crisis into the storyline.
Student employment is incredibly vital to the functionality of Brandeis campus. Our Brandeis University Medical Corps service is a student-run, volunteer emergency group that provides medical attention to the Brandeis community. In addition, the BranVan is a student-run shuttle service that helps students, faculty, and staff to different parts of campus and Waltham. Our student research positions also serve as a great help to our community and faculty as researchers further along and contribute to academic projects and shape the curriculum of future class courses. Students can generally apply for these jobs through Workday, but the application process varies. Those with work study are given priority for the first month of the fall semester. Brandeis advertises that it has over 200 student-run clubs and organizations. However, a large majority of students within organizations are not adequately compensated.
With 28 seconds left in game four of the Women’s National Basketball Association semifinals, WNBA legend Sue Bird went coast-to-coast and laid the basketball into the rim off a simple hand-off play, closing the Seattle Storm’s deficit against the Las Vegas Aces to four. This, however, did not stop the Aces from taking the win away from Seattle. The layup became Bird’s last points made in her 21-year WNBA career. The Aces players, led by the 2022 WNBA MVP and defensive player of the year A’ja Wilson, lined up and congratulated Bird on her retirement. Bird addressed the fans as they chanted “Thank you, Sue!” and headed back to the locker room.
Jen Crystal ’23 and Jane Flautt ’23 will lead the Justice during the 2022-23 academic year as editor in chief and managing editor, respectively. They were unanimously elected last spring following Q&A sessions addressing their times at the Justice and goals for the year.
When I was a kid, I begged my family to watch “The Devil Wears Prada” over three times a month. The scenes where the main character, Andrea, transformed into a highly fashionable woman who wore beautifully tailored and curated outfits are seared into my brain. That movie first sparked my interest in fashion. From then on, I would flip through magazines to see the new collections designers debuted for the season. I even asked my grandmother to teach me how to make dresses with our 1980s thrifted sewing machine. I was in awe of how glamorous the industry looked and how much thought seemingly went into every piece of clothing. I longed to be a part of that world even just for a second. However, that dream felt largely unattainable. I never saw a Black woman who I felt looked like me on the red carpets or sitting in the front row of fashion shows. I just assumed that there was no space for me, and that I would always just have to look on from the outside, or in this case, from my childhood bedroom drenched in pink and covered in magazine clippings.
This fall’s first-years are members of the University’s largest class to date, totaling 996 students, according to an Aug. 26 email from Univ. President Ron Liebowitz. But before the class of 2026 began the first of their four years at Brandeis, they attended New Student Orientation, which began on Aug. 21. Led entirely by students, the week was made possible by 68 student Orientation Leaders, or “OLs,” and the Orientation Core Team, three veteran OLs who serve as supervisors as well as plan and run various orientation events.

Bidding farewell to our graduating editors is always a bittersweet moment: although we hate to say goodbye after countless late nights spent together, our hearts are filled with pride and hope for all that they will accomplish next. Although it has been a challenging few years, our soon-to-be graduates remained steadfastly dedicated to the Justice, and Brandeis is all the better for their contributions to journalism. Please join us in recognizing the Justice editors in the Class of 2022.

In the summer of 2020, as Black Lives Matter protests against systemic racism and police brutality erupted across the globe in response to the murder of George Floyd and other high profile police killings of Black people in the United States, Sonali Anderson ’22 began thinking about ways to make change happen on an institutional level at Brandeis.
Daniel Ricciardo started his Formula One career as a bright talent, but in the back marker Hispania Racing Team (HRT), he was never afforded the machinery that his talent could materialize into meaningful results. In the following year, he was moved to the Toro Rosso team, which at the time was not a team that could compete for podiums and wins. While in Toro Rosso, however, he scored a handful of points and put in performances that caught the attention of Christian Horner and Helmut Marko, who were and are the team principal and manager of Red Bull Racing, respectively. During this period, Red Bull was in its third year of dominance over the sport with then three-time world champion Sebastian Vettel and proven driver Mark Webber at the wheel of their dominant RB-8 car.
Over the past academic year, at least 15 administrators and department heads have left their positions or have announced that they will be leaving soon to pursue work elsewhere.
Brandeis Earth Week, presented by the Office of Sustainability and the Center for Spiritual Life, was part of an international effort to focus on environmental issues. Earth Week is an extension of Earth Day, which occurs every year on April 22. According to the Earth Day website, the event was founded in 1970 by Sen. Gaylord Nelson (D-WI) who wanted “to infuse the energy of student anti-war protests with an emerging public consciousness about air and water pollution.” In conjunction with Davis Hayes, a young activist at the time, Nelson and Hayes organized a teach-in on college campuses on April 22, 1970. The movement grew until 1990 when Earth Day went international, with 200 million people in 141 countries participating.
