One of the great joys in my current life as a communication professor at both Curry College (undergrad full-time) and Regis College (grad part-time) is being able to participate in the colleges’ commencement ceremonies.

If you’ve ever wondered what my politics are, you’ve probably been kept wondering for a while. Because I don’t usually talk, or write, politics. It’s not my bag, and it’s certainly not WUL’s bag. Which makes me quite a strange duck in terms of living and working in a town that eats, breathes, and sleeps politics, doesn’t it?

Guest post by Jim Dougherty. There’s a line in the chorus of Nicki Minaj’s song “Starships,” where she sings “hands up and touch the sky.” I know this for two reasons: #1 because it’s on the radio all the time, and. #2 because everytime Nicki Minaj sings that line my three-year-old dutifully throws her hands up.
