Rewriting the Theatre Scene
It’d been a long time since he had stage fright. In fact, Evan Linder ’04 couldn’t really remember feeling this sensation at all, not even when he was an 11-year-old kid playing Mike Teavee in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. He’d had a lot of roles since then, and this had never been a problem.

But, when Chanele Jackson ’87 first got into the business, it was for one purpose and one purpose only: to provide

Standing Tall
She may be small in stature, but when 4-foot-9-inch Briosha Sanders ’14 takes a stand, her voice is as big as they come. “I didn’t always have an avenue to voice my opinions, but it became increasingly important for me to speak up and offer my opinions and ideas whenever I could,” says the women’s

On a Lark
This story has danger, espionage, success and fame. It’s got fashion, the arts, the mob, the finer things in life. It’s got conspiracy, courtroom antics, threats, literary greats, famous musicians, oil money, movie sets. And – while Rosemary Powell James ’59 may not have dreamed up the drama or read for the roles – this

Strong Body, Strong Mind
You don’t have to look around campus long to find space dedicated to stretching students’ minds, exercising their intellect and keeping their brains healthy and fit. And, with the opening of the George Street Fitness Center last fall, there’s now plenty of space for strengthening their bodies, too. Occupying 19,000 square feet of the first
