Student Assembly (SA) President Amanda Kim ’21 and Vice President Jiin Jeong ’21 led the program that focused on two topics selected by students: mental health and sustainability.

Sitting in the boardroom of The Whitney Museum of American Art, overlooking the West Side Highway and the Hudson River, are the students of Art History 310 and Scott Rothkopf, chief curator of The Whitney.

The first time Ethiopian artist Elias Sime saw a motherboard, he thought it looked like a landscape. Created by Sime and his collaborator, Meskerem Assegued, “Tightrope” is a commentary on humanity, technology, and the environment – and how the three interact. On Sept 7, the Wellin Museum not only celebrated the opening reception of “Tightrope,” but also welcomed Sime and Assegued (who acted as translator) to Hamilton as part of the Wellin’s Artists in Conversation series. Johnson-Pote Director of the Wellin Tracy Adler guided the conversation.

Not surprisingly, Juliette Reiss ’03, an actress in Los Angeles, participated in theatre productions at Hamilton. But she also loved singing with the College Choir and the a cappella group Tumbling After, for which she served as president.

As college students, we read novels, short stories, textbooks, even perhaps poems or memoirs. We write essays, lab reports, Blackboard discussion posts. We read and write every single day, yet how much do we know about how a book goes from a manuscript to a product in Barnes & Noble? How many people are a part of the process? Who is behind that book description on Amazon?

To introduce him simply as a civil rights activist, educator, or philosopher would be irresponsible. To call him a MacArthur Genius, a Heinz Award recipient, or an Alphonse Fletcher, Sr. Fellow would reduce him to labels. He is all of that and more – there simply is no introduction that could do Robert “Bob” Moses’56 justice.
