In a fishbowl discussion on Feb. 18, Topjor Tsultrim ’22 — one of the co-founders of the College’s Milk Tea Alliance — and Micaela Foreman ’23 engaged in a facilitated dialogue on the activities of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and restorative justice in the aftermath of the bias incident on the Milk Tea Alliance’s Jan. 4 tabling day.

Williams Art Loan for Living Spaces (WALLS), returned on Sept. 14 after a year-long hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

During a typical semester, dance groups would take to the stage in Chapin to perform their fall shows to live audiences. With COVID restrictions limiting the size of large gatherings, they have turned instead to recording their fall performances remotely, appearing in a series of virtual shows released between the end of fall semester and now.
With our unusually long winter break and upcoming in-room quarantine, the Record compiled art recommendations from students at the College via Instagram. For those students studying remotely this semester or taking time off, we hope that these recommendations help you stay connected to the College community, no matter where you are. From cartoons to crafts and everything in between, we hope you enjoy!
