After nearly four years at Brandeis University, I will be graduating in several weeks along with the rest of the class of 2012.

David Bezmozgis, renowned author of the novels “Natasha” and “The Free World,” came to campus this past Wednesday. He was invited by the Brandeis-Genesis Institute for Russian Jewry.
