An extraordinary week at Macaulay:? Wednesday was the second annual Tea, where Ellen Chesler led a student panel on a discussion on CEDAW (look it up) and we hosted a group of wonderful Macaulay friends, faculty, and staff.
Nothing prepared me for the explosion of energy that hit me when I came back to Macaulay on Friday night. ? Art, photography, sculpture, film, performance….three floors of Macaulay rocked with talent.? This was the biggest student-run event yet, and yet it is probably just a hint of great things to come.
Congrats to the campus curators! to the student artists!? to Solita Alexander and Macaulay staffers!
(As you’ve probably already noticed, I have a TERRIBLE memory, so if you see me struggling with your name, it doesn’t mean that I don’t remember you!? I’ve always wished I could borrow one of those presidential advance people who always whispers the right name…or else a great memory.)
Last night, I went to a wonderful exhibition of Pierre Bonnard’s paintings at the Met.? Ran into two Macaulay students there….it took a second to figure out why we looked familiar to each other, but of course, Macaulay students are to be found in all the best New York places!
