And so it Begins
My first week in India and all that led up to it! By: Parini Mehta I arrived in India almost two weeks ago and was immediately met with a sense of clarity.

The Things I Almost Walked Past
Knowledge Day 3 By: Na’Riyah McKinney A lot of my summer is spent paying close attention; watching where people, ideas, and decisions move, and trying to write it all down accurately enough that it actually means something.

Back in Tally!
Starting my experience soon… By Kiley Irizarry (This photo may seem irrelevant but I have a quick side story before I start; I saw this movie with my friend while I was back home, and it unexpectedly became about union organizing in the middle so I started geeking.
