The graduation speech that never was
(04/28/20 8:09pm)
Editor’s note: This was the speech I planned to submit to the College of Arts and Sciences’ student speaker contest before UB moved commencement to a virtual ceremony. While it wasn’t guaranteed that I would’ve read this aloud in Alumni Arena, I still hoped that my submission would’ve made the cut. So did the others who submitted speeches. So here’s something I put my heart into and, unfortunately, may not have the opportunity to read unless we have an in-person celebration later in the year. Fingers crossed.

Letter to the editor
(04/01/19 3:40am)
Lately, the Faculty Senate Executive Committee has found itself in quite a muddle. They’ve failed to pass a resolution to address the non-living stipends of graduate student employees on this campus. Though, I’ve read in The Spectrum that they had time to discuss my last letter to the editor, which was deemed a “pretty gross mischaracterization” of their voting down a resolution for a living wage. It’s always gratifying to hear one is being read, and this creates a nice opportunity for me to explore what’s really gross about this mire: that rather than approve a proposal that would substantially affect the lives of thousands of graduate students the FSEC is quibbling over tone.
