Dear Class of 2030, remember that every moment is worth experiencing. And every once in a while, try to slow down and appreciate who you already are.
Hello, I’m Andre Fludd, a postdoctoral fellow at the TLC. I primarily work with Hunter and Queens College, but you may see me elsewhere, especially when projects emphasize video or music production.
I’m an ethnomusicologist and musician, but I enjoy just about every form of art. Lately, I’ve been drawn to old religious structures like Cologne Cathedral. This enjoyment is less about organized religion and more about a fascination with projects that take several hundred years to complete and remain today as beautiful examples of human creativity. I also, perhaps unsurprisingly, enjoy parenthetical commas and very long sentences.
I’m particularly excited about the Critical AI Literacy at Macaulay program, which is co-led by me, Lisa Brundage, and your Macaulay upperclassman. Expect to see more information about events where you can learn more about the ethics, strengths, and weaknesses of AI.
I think we could all, always, use more love, positivity, grace, and general good vibes. I’ll do my best to always share them with you, and I hope you do the same for others in return.
