It’s times like these that Ithaca really starts to feel isolated — from family, from friends, from the rest of civilization. Cornell can feel like a bubble sometimes, separated from the rest of the world. It’s about homesickness, missing your family, yearning for your childhood, and the feeling of being so far away. And this song in particular (“a minute from home but I feel so far from it”) just fits so perfectly. It is also such a soft, pretty song to close on.

Reduced airfare duties and fees aim to make Hajj more affordable for pilgrimsBangladesh waives excise duty on airfare, VAT on fees for Hajj pilgrimsThe interim government has fully withdrawn excise duty on air tickets for Hajj pilgrims next year.

When asked about minority oppression, the advisor said that minorities in Bangladesh are safe, and that special security arrangements were taken during the last Durga Puja.

I had been tabling with Cornell Progressives, talking to families about the University’s crackdown on student protest. President Kotlikoff and the administration are not neutral, they are picking and choosing which students to protect and which to punish. In his op-ed, President Kotlikoff cites this as his primary example of “protected speech” at Cornell. Clearly, President Kotlikoff disagrees. In our conversation, President Kotlikoff twice called me “ridiculous,” and wrote that I demonstrate a “fundamental misunderstanding.” Does President Kotlikoff view 5,000 of Cornell’s undergraduates as “ridiculous”?

Courtesy of Havily Nwakuche I visited Tjaden Hall once again on Oct. 31 to sit down and talk art with senior BFA student Havily Nwakuche ’25. With her graduation looming in the near future, Nwakuche reflected on how both she and her art have grown since coming to Cornell. Growing up near a library that offered community art projects and always loving art in school, Nwakuche really started getting serious about her craft in her senior year of high school. Though she works with textiles and photography now, Nwakuche came into Cornell as a painter. Courtesy of Havily NwakucheThe most powerful aspect of art to Nwakuche is its impact.
