Cultivate interest in career fields

by Hannah Goldberg | 09/11/2012

Senior year has finally arrived. We're beginning to experience the frustrations that accompany finding a job, or sometimes as equally challenging, submitting applications to graduate school in today's less-than-stellar economy. I'm almost completely done with my applications to medical school, and I'm fortunate to have a career in mind that I'm really excited about. I have considered other careers, such as a journalist, a neuroscience researcher, or a professor, while at Brandeis.

Eradicate stigma of ambition

by Hannah Goldberg | 12/12/2011

About 11 months ago, I could not wait for winter break to end so I could return to Brandeis. I was tired of the inevitable lull I would experience in every conversation after I told someone I am majoring in Neuroscience. This never happens to me at Brandeis, where it is the norm for students to be intellectually curious and excited about classes.

Avoid negative prevalence of 'lower education'

by Hannah Goldberg | 09/13/2011

This week, Michael Morris, professor of psychology at the University of New Haven, published an article in Inside Higher Ed titled "Lower Education." In his article, Morris vented his current grievances concerning the prevalence of college graduates who, it seems, did not learn the most rudimentary skills inherent to a substantial college career. The author attributes the blame to professors.

Graduates, act with genuine character

by Hannah Goldberg | 05/24/2011

Last week, our 2011 commencement speaker, New York Times op-ed columnist David Brooks, published an article in The New York Times titled, "Nice Guys Finish First." In his article, Brooks encouraged readers to "establish a reputation of niceness" in the face of competition.

Increase 'local flavor' in university dining services

by Hannah Goldberg | 01/25/2011

Welcome to Brandeis. Here, at America's ninth-most-liberal college campus, students can compete on our Quidditch team, live in gender-neutral housing, take part in boundless and spontaneous intellectual dialogue and audition for one of 11 official a cappella groups-each with its own quirky name and personality.

Professors: Be cautious with PowerPoint

by Hannah Goldberg | 10/05/2010

Of all my 16 years of schooling, few memories stand out in my mind as definitively as a particular moment from my third-grade gifted science class titled "Tech World." Dr. Knight, my favorite teacher (and grade- school role model) was teaching our small class of nine students about ESP by conducting an "ESP test" in which we needed to repeatedly guess three numbers previously written by the student sitting behind us (an activity in which by mere chance-or perhaps "special ability"-I performed quite well). It spoke volumes about Dr. Knight's passion for his students' enthusiasm and interest in science that, upon my arrival back home, I found my mom sitting on the porch speaking to Dr. Knight on the phone.

Fix new mailbox issues

by Hannah Goldberg | 08/31/2010

The other day I mentioned to a friend that I could not reach my mailbox. I confided that I was worried that in the act of jumping up to jam my hand into my mailbox, I would accidentally push my mail back into the unknown abyss that is the other side of the mailroom.
