I'm constantly encouraged to watch the news and stay up to date on politics, and having majored in political science, my brain is already trained to understand the vocabulary and themes needed to maintain a discourse in current affairs.
The best part about Last Week Tonight is its commitment to uncovering important top ics that are otherwise dismissed. Being part of a team that is truly invested in making the truth funny is so important in todays world, and I realize most people can't say that about their jobs. Name: Rashad Malik Davis. What is one of the most memorable, fun, or important experiences that you have at Tufts? Hands down, my time in the a-capella group S-Factor was the most valuable and crucial to my college experience.
When I was stressed, exhausted or otherwise burnt out from college life, S-Factor was a fun and warm home away from home. I now have brothers I can call on for a lifetime without question or hesitation. I have two. Both classes expanded my understanding of the resilience and diversity of human existence and how we can make and find beauty in everything - including our resistance.
I have always loved people, and I was endlessly fascinated with studying how we operate within a cultural context. Because I didn't know specifically what I wanted to do upon graduation, I also figured Anthropology was broad enough that I could apply my skills to any career I found myself in. Chinese was also a way to go into another culture and learn. I'd always been fascinated with Chinese culture, and studying the language was a beautiful glimpse in.
Anthropology was a lot of writing, critical writing, and empathy building. I had to understand someone else's world. In illustration and writing for myself or other clients, I have to step into someone else's shoes. I also most often get clients of diverse backgrounds, so the ability to appreciate and understand their culture's richness helps me make new connections and valuable business friendships.
The fact that people can locate themselves in my work is the most rewarding. Whe n little kids get excited because they see a character that looks like them, it really makes my day. And when adults can understand the depth of what I'm trying to do, it makes all of the hard work worth it. Name: Nathan Winters.
Moving into my first off campus apartment was one of the most important experiences I'll ever have, not just at Tufts. Not that RA's counted as supervision, but there was always someone with more authority than me if something went wrong. The first few days in my off campus apartment was a real learning experience of how to live independently.
Comp 40 was hands down my favorite class. School can be competitive and pit students against each other to see who can do best, but this class was such a grind that it brought the whole class together. I formed lasting friendships and learned that school and work aren't every person for themselves, but a team effort where you can learn a lot, not only from professors but also from those around you. I picked computer science because I've always liked puzzles and programming can kind of be like building a puzzle and making all of the pieces fit together.
It teaches you to think logically, trust yourself, and forces you to really understand what you're working on to be successful. The CS department at Tufts didn't just teach me the coolest technologies or fancy vocabulary to allow me to fake my way through life, it taught me how to learn, think critically, and easily pick up whatever new task at hand I might have at work.
There are a lot of things I don't know, but studying computer science at Tufts not only humbled me but also left me capable of learning anything I needed to. Usually typing at a keyboard for most of the day can make it hard to find meaning. However, thanks to the autonomy I've been given at work, I've been able to make mistakes.
When I've made those mistakes I've been able to see the importance my work has for people and how they rely on what I do to live healthier and happier lives, and being able to help provide that is very meaningful. Name: Dr. Oleg Svet. Working with Professor Malik Mufti and others to reform the IR curriculum so that it reflects what the student body wants was by far the most satisfying experience I had. I'm particularly proud that the reformed curriculum includes an International Security concentration, which I worked on extensively to ensure that it is offered to students, and it's great to see that this concentration has become the most popular one in the IR student body.
Knowing that something I worked on a decade ago benefits students to this day is important to me. Passions were high and students got to express their opinion of the Iraq War at the height of the conflict. All in all it was an incredibly enjoyable event that got good coverage in the Tufts Daily.
In retrospect, hosting a debate between two distinguished scholars on a political resolution foreshadowed my future work in Congress. After the curriculum got approved the course was offered in the department starting in fall In a rare instance during the academic year I served as Teaching Assistant for the course while I was still a B. The experience did several things. Because General Howard shared his experiences working in the field the course crystallized my love for international security as a discipline, in particular counterterrorism.
It changed the way I thought about counterterrorism because it moved my understanding of the subject from a very theoretical, Ivory Tower perspective, to a more practical understanding of how counterterrorism missions are carried out in the field. Working alongside retired General Howard also increased my respect for our servicemembers who work every day to make our nation safe from terrorist attacks. Finally, being a teaching assistant forced me to move from simply enjoying reading materials about counterterrorism to digesting international security literature in such a way that I could communicate it to students who would come to my office hours to ask questions about the subject.
Choosing International Relations was a no-brainer for two reasons. The first is that Tufts is one of the five top international relations programs in the United States. The second is that my life history and international living experience left no question in my mind that I want to study international relations.
In high-school I was the kid who led a political club, who was reading Foreign Affairs, and who was a member of the local foreign relations organization, in my case the Worcester Committee on Foreign Relations. It has prepared me remarkably well. Today on the Hill I work on defense, homeland security, foreign affairs, intelligence, veterans affairs, counterterrorism, and appropriations related to all of the above. The IR program at Tufts prepared me extremely well for understanding the big picture of all these issues.
The purpose of Congress is to pass legislation that improves the lives of all Americans. I come to work every day knowing that this is the purpose of my work: to make sure that every day we are working to create a fairer and more just country for all of our citizens. The legislation that I help draft aims to work toward that common goal. Great laws provide a set of incentives and disincentives so that individuals take actions that help both them and society as a whole. No law is perfect, neither the laws that were passed before I came here, nor the legislation that I or my colleagues are currently working to pass in Congress.
Over time laws also need to be updated to reflect the changing mores, the introduction of new technologies, and so on. December 21, The Year in Photos This was the year we gradually increased our sense of pandemic normalcy, as the university vaccines became available.
Holding a small gathering this holiday season? Martin Luther King, Celebration. Then, that is the quest for the bread of love. King and Coretta Scott King shared to deep care of one another, self, and community, in the midst of the quest for justice and transformation. We will welcome local activists and Tufts students to a panel to consider how their labor, rest, and play connect to care and to reflect on this legacy.
This is the first public event of three to bring us together as a community to deepen our understanding of the radical work of the Kings, and to continue to shape Tufts into a place of true belonging, equity, and care.
