Big Broadway musicals are one of the most popular forms of entertainment. Audience members get all dressed up for a night at the theater and then, as soon as the show is over, rush out to buy the soundtrack. In real life it is rare for two people to sing and dance in the middle […]
Two years ago, I pledged to bring the University and community closer together and to fight for students’ rights. I am happy to report I have delivered on both.
