The Bruins saw double – in more ways than one.

Dearest Students:
On May 2, I woke up to the news that police had taken down your Palestine solidarity encampment. As a previous educator, student organizer and daughter of a Chicano Brown Beret, I’m overwhelmed by you all – your bravery, your resilience and your unequivocal belief in building a just world.
The sound of a singular tennis ball striking the court recalls the interlude of “Get’cha Head in the Game” from “High School Musical.”
In the song, Troy Bolton sings, “A second chance, gotta grab it and go.
Dear “Chancellor” Gene Block:
As the mother of a senior who is on the cusp of graduation after four tumultuous years, I watch with utter horror from across the country.
