I'm a rising senior at Hamilton hoping to utilize this class to strengthen my academic prowess and build a foundation for doing more work similar to this outside of my career. In alignment with much of what it seems we'll be exploring, I consider myself a reader on both extremes (drought or flood, no in between). Some of my favorite reads this year have been Stay True by Hua Hsu, How the Word Is Passed by Clint Smith, and Why Fish Don't Exist by Lulu Miller! Feel free to send yours over, my TBR is hundreds of books long but I take personal recommendations very seriously (call it guilt, call it karma). p.s. I considered myself very tech-savvy until this class, apologies in advance for being a liability.
