University-Professor

A young man and a young woman continue to miss each other at a museum. A ballet dancer twirls to the swells of the San Francisco Orchestra. A man listens carefully to the sounds around him while his family waits for him to hear them.

Kimberly Tsui, CC ’22, is an avid follower of Hollywood news. As a self-described nerd who hopes to one day enter the film industry, Tsui frequently reads content produced by large publications like Variety and The Hollywood Reporter.

As a response to this dissatisfaction, she founded Stereoscope Magazine.

Mike Smith, CC ’20, a former star for the Lions who transferred to the University of Michigan last year, has announced that he will enter the NBA Draft. Smith was a key contributor to the Wolverines, who earned a spot in the Elite Eight in the NCAA March Madness tournament this year before being knocked out by UCLA.

The work of a historian takes at least some imagination, which is why I fell in love with the subject long before I came to Columbia. You have the amazing task of piecing together the sources you find and filling in the details of what could have been. As you go back in time and have access to fewer and fewer historical records, you must adjust your interpretation of humanity to fit a world only familiar to people who are long gone.
