Putting REM's "Automatic for the People" on my Walkman in the winter of 1992 and walking through thick snow, back to my dorm room in East.

Brandeisian(s) who most influenced your life
(History professor) Eugene Black, who managed to make me feel smarter than I am. (Near Eastern and Judaic Studies professor) Antony Polonsky, who taught me that compassion is also an academic topic. And (anthropology professor) Robert Manners, who showed me what it's like to live a life of meaning.
