Doubts clouded my mind as I into that new world, Parsons School of Design. But fate had a plan, introducing me to Kathleen, who would become my guiding light.

I remember feeling out of place on my first day at Parsons, questioning everything from my outfit to my abilities. As I walked in and scanned the classroom, my vision sharply stopped on one person. Wow. She looked cool. I plopped myself down next to her and introduced myself as Dorri, thrilled when she smiled and said, “Hi. I’m Kathleen.” That was all it took.

What a difference Kathleen made in my school life! Her confidence, discipline, and responsibility were worlds away from my shaky, wild, and lazy nature. We became inseparable, signing up for the same classes, and I was always trying to earn her approval.

One day the homework assignment was to create an exciting illustration based on a pair of shoes. Bursting with ideas, I pulled out my favorite pair of antique thrift shop “old-lady shoes” and poured my heart into the project. Proud of my work, I rushed to Kathleen’s apartment to show her my creation, holding up my paper with glowing confidence. But Kathleen’s reaction was unexpected, crushing my pride with a single question: “Is that the only drawing you did?”

“Well, yes,” I responded sheepishly, “Why?”

“Come on,” she said. “Let’s go to Washington Square Park and really do some drawings.” I was puzzled, but when she led, I willingly followed, with my pad tucked under my arm.

As we made our way to the park, Kathleen enthusiastically talked about form, content, and composition and stressed the significance of observing subjects closely. She described the shoes in my drawing as the kind worn by elderly women who frequent the park to feed pigeons. That moment, she taught me to look closely and recreate diligently.

Student Union

7 . Albertus Magnus College student Shannon Visco had always loved theater since elementary school. When she arrived at college, she was excited to continue her interest in theater and join the drama club. However, Shannon soon discovered that Albertus Magnus College’s Drama Club was no longer functional.

This was a big disappointment for Shannon, who had always been surrounded by a theater community. Growing up, she did every show she possibly could, both in school and with community theater groups. Theater was more than just a hobby for Shannon—it was an important form of expressing herself.

Feeling the absence of the theater community, Shannon was inspired to restart the drama club. She wanted to bring back the spotlight (聚光灯) and create a space for students who shared her love of theater to come together and create something special.

Renewing a drama club that had been relatively inactive for years was not an easy task. Shannon received help from fellow students Giana Cagna and Kristian Lozada, in addition to English Professor Susan Cole. Together, the team shared emails and Zoom meetings to discuss the possibility of this effort and the next steps. By the beginning of Shannon’s second year at college, the club finally began to pick up.

Despite all their efforts, there was still a setback. They needed to recruit (招募) students. The group spread the word and put up posters around campus, but the result was not very promising. The students soon turned to their friends, and in doing so, they were finally able to fill a cast and crew (演员和工作人员).

Last month, the club successfully performed The Atomic Family from Outer Space—the club’s first performance in five years. The performance also received a Falcon Award for the best event on campus. It is safe to say we can expect big things from the drama club next year.
