Here's a sneak peak from Katie Zaborsky's profile of Assistant Professor of English Aarthi Vadde, hitting stands tomorrow:

At 32 , Aarthi Vadde is the youngest faculty member in the English department. Walking the halls of the Allen Building, she is often mistaken for a student, something that Vadde has grown to accept and even embrace.

“My very first year, it kind of bothered me, just because you’re still in this vein where you think, ‘I’m making this transition, and if other people don’t recognize it, how can I make it?’” she says. “But this year it’s more of a compliment, I suppose. It’s not going to last forever. Then I’m going to have to transition to actually looking my age.”

"The feel is organic. The floor is a mosaic of stone and the furnishings all wood in the raw (tree rings and bark browns intact). And what stuff the room houses: rectangular swings that hang from the ceiling with thick rope, artfully crooked panels that house a guitar each, a bench that looks borrowed from the throngs of East Campus, long teeter-totters that throttle their users skyward with surprising force and speed—such that I consciously applied the rules of torque I learned from my mediocre stint in physics to survive the ride." - Indu Ramesh writes about Crazy Camp Music Park, one of her favorite spots off campus

"In English, words tumble from my tongue. Frolick-stride-meander-hobble-trounce: in what other language can I summon so many words to say, “walk”? I alight in a foreign country. From the moment I step onto airport floors sweating dust and seeping humidity, my tongue is stoppered."

“As an actor, you always have to be conscious of your behavior and recognize that maybe that particular feeling is strong because you’ve never felt it before. We can manipulate those feelings and with time, call upon them at will. The more we do it, the easier it is to let go.”
