This week, it has come to Brandeis, presented by Brandeis Experimental Theatre (BET) and directed by Michelle Kuchinksy ’12. “Fuddy Meers” presents the thoroughly twisted story of Claire (played by Jackie Theoharis ’14), a woman who wakes up each morning with no memory of who […]
I am currently on the School for International Training (SIT) Serbia, Bosnia and Kosovo: Peace and Conflict Studies in the Balkans.

Too often with hectic schedules and exam periods, college students lose sight of why we come to college, what we hope to achieve here and how we plan to learn.
