As we approach this election season, we find ourselves navigating a world marked by both opportunity and conflict. At 91ÊÓƵ, we have always been a community that values civic responsibility. Whether through thoughtful dialogue, voting, or community engagement, we encourage our students, faculty, and staff to be active participants in shaping the future—both here in New York and across the globe.
This issue of 91ÊÓƵ Now reflects the importance of this mission: preparing our community to be informed, engaged citizens. From a guide on how to make your voice heard in the upcoming elections, to celebrating the achievements of our alumni who have shone brightly on the world stage—these stories remind us of the power of action, the importance of community, and the drive to make a difference.
We also spotlight the many ways our students and faculty are leading the charge—whether it’s through groundbreaking research on mental health or taking their talents abroad to build global connections. These stories are not just examples of individual success but are testaments to the strength of the 91ÊÓƵ Community as a whole.
As we continue to engage with the world around us, I encourage everyone to reflect on how we can contribute to a more informed and inclusive society. Let’s take this moment to not only express our voices but also listen to the diverse perspectives that make our community so vibrant.
Together, we can navigate these challenging times and emerge stronger—more connected, more informed, and more civically minded.
