Commencement 2020

From this year's annual LitFest, Senior Managing Editor Mira Wilde ’28 writes about the highly-anticipated talk given by the former U.S. Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, who shared his relationship with literature and how it shapes his work in politics.

Among this year’s distinguished LitFest guest speakers was author Jamaica Kincaid. Managing Opinion Editor Caroline Flinn ’28 and Managing Puzzles Editor Madeline Gold ’28 explore how Kincaid's personal experiences and values have shaped both her writing and her life.

As the Spring semester starts picking up, so has the lineup of viewings at the Amherst Cinema. To kick off her list, Managing Features Editor Belaine Mamo ’27 shows appreciation for the absurdity throughout “Nirvanna: The Band - the Show - the Movie.”
