And every once in a while, try to slow down and appreciate who you already are. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hello, I\u2019m 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m an ethnomusicologist and musician, but I enjoy just about every form of art. Lately, I\u2019ve 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think we could all, always, use more love, positivity, grace, and general good vibes. I\u2019ll do my best to always share them with you, and I hope you do the same for others in return.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Class of 2030, remember that every moment is worth experiencing.
