I learned so much from reporting this story — a giant thank-you to Matthew Desmond (@just_shelter) and his brilliant, thoughtful students and community partners. You inspire me.

Attracting students from STEM to the social sciences to the humanities, @just_shelter's "Poverty, by America" course has students tackle questions about American poverty while field-testing real solutions with community partner organizations. https://t.co/qZz5AJ1OmY

When #BiennaleArte2024 opens on April 20, the exhibition pavilion representing Bulgaria will display the work of @PrincetonGrad student Julian Chehirian, taking visitors through the Bulgarian gulag under Communist rule. https://t.co/uoi9d6mUMX
