Considering the growing political divide in the United States and legislation targeting various intersectional identities, Princeton must ensure that students are ready to productively learn about and discuss the politics and experiences of members of underrepresented and intersectional identities. I took GSS 201: Introduction to Gender and Sexuality Studies during my first year, and the class and its incredible teaching staff had a clear and positive impact on me. GSS 201 should be compulsory for all undergraduates under general education requirements.
Picture the Princeton University of the early 1900s: the Dinky drops you off right before Blair Arch and, of course, there is no Wawa in sight. You stroll through the numerous Oxbridge-influenced courtyards, admiring the Gothic architecture around you and find yourself on the grassy lawn before Nassau Hall. The pairing of open green space with this building inspired the first known use of the word “campus,” derived from the Latin word for field, to describe University grounds.
Cello soloist Aster Zhang ’24 was playing the last — and most frenetic — movement of Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto No. 1 when the unimaginable happened: a string snapped. The music halted, and conductor Michael Pratt relayed a quick cue. Principal cellist Brandon Cheng ’25 swapped instruments with Zhang and proceeded off-stage. The movement picked up again, and Zhang and the orchestra concluded the concerto beautifully.

In his first lecture of POL 388: Causes of War, Professor Gary Bass described a small number of the horrors of war as detailed by its survivors and perpetrators. He detailed the sight of the transformation of a human body into a mist of blood and guts after being hit with artillery blasts, or the sounds of soldiers dying whilst screaming for their mothers. This instilled in us a sense of the solemnity of our topic.
