ACTIVITIES, ACCOLADES & GRANTS
Erika Dreifus was quoted in a recent Moment magazine article, “How to Remember: Holocaust Literature from Survivors’ Accounts to 3G.”
The Abraham J. Briloff Prize in Ethics went to Anastasiia Semerianova, a sophomore, planning to major in either Economics or Accountancy. The committee selected her essay, The Harm from Antibiotic Usage, which she wrote for an ENG 2100T class taught by Prof. Constantin Schreiber. According to the prize committee, “This outstanding paper goes beyond identifying a moral harm by suggesting steps to solve or ameliorate the identified problem.” The paper is available here.
Brooke Schreiber’s student Kyle Perlman was one of ten students selected to represent Baruch at a CUNY-wide celebration of undergraduate research. His project, “A Shiksa’s Guide: Changing Influences on New York City Jewish English,” completed in a Macaulay honors seminar, will be part of the 2024 CUNY Undergraduate Research Day to be held at John Jay on May 24th.
