Terras IrradientTerras Irradient: The Endowment EpisodeIt's hard to go a day without reading about divestment, either at Amherst or elsewhere. But why is divestment so hard? And why is it the only endowment-related initiative we talk about? On this episode of Terras Irradient, we explain why the endowment is such a hot button issue, how it works (and doesn't work), and how we can make it more equitable.

Nash '67. Who is Mr. Nash? He's a scholar of American conservatism and a biographer of Herbert Hoover. He was a student at Amherst College when John F. Kennedy gave a speech at the dedication ceremony for Frost Library. And today, he's a loyal user of the Frost Library Catacombs. On this episode of Terras Irradient, Mr. Nash shares some of his favorite memories from his time at Amherst in the 1960s and from his...
2024-03-1335 minTerras IrradientTerras Irradient: The Athletic Recruitment DebateHow would Amherst College change if it eliminated athletic recruitment? What would the campus community gain or lose if Amherst did not have varsity sports? What is the student experience like at Reed College, a peer institution that does not have athletic recruitment or varsity sports? On this episode of Terras Irradient, host Andrew Rosin '25 is joined by Senior Managing Editor Dustin Copeland '25, varsity cross country and track star Theo Dassin '24, and Reed College junior Lucas Weiss to discuss the debate surrounding the potential end of athletic recruitment.

2023-12-0628 minTerras IrradientCampus Life After Covid-19It's April of 2023, and no Covid-19 era polices remain. But does this mean that the Amherst campus has returned to its pre-pandemic normalcy?
The current seniors -- members of the class of '23 -- will be the last class of Amherst students to have experienced Amherst before the pandemic. So, before they graduate, we asked three current seniors and two recent graduates to share their experience before and during the Covid-19 pandemic and to compare it with their experience on campus now.
2023-04-2630 minTerras IrradientThe Long Road to UnionizationIn March 2022, the Wesleyan Union of Student Employees made history by becoming the first undergraduate student union to be voluntarily recognized. This development arose on a changing landscape of labor militancy throughout the US: as the Amazon Labor Union was entering the national landscape, so did students at Iowa’s Grinnell College formalize a union for all student employees. How do the Amherst Labor Alliance, and the organizing traditions preceding it, fit into this picture? Why isn't Amherst unionized?

Terras IrradientThe Amherst to Wall Street PipelineIn 2020, 1/5 of Amherst College graduates went on to work in the finance industry; the next-highest number of grads — only 11% — went into consulting. In other words, finance is far and away the most appealing industry to Amherst students. At a school with such diverse opportunities, and which purports itself to be a progressive institution, why does there seem to be an Amherst-to-Wall-Street pipeline? What are the real reasons why so many Amherst students flock to the world of finance? On this episode, staff podcaster and writer Andrew Rosin '25 delves into these questions, and more.
