Mission: Terras irradient “LET THEM GIVE LIGHT TO THE WORLD.” 1821 Amherst College looks, above all, for students of intellectual promise who have demonstrated qualities of mind and character that will enable them to take full advantage of our curriculum. We seek qualified applicants from different racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds – students whose several perspectives might contribute significantly to a process of mutual education within and beyond the curriculum. We aim to select from among the many qualified applicants those possessing the intellectual talent, discipline and imagination that will allow them most fully to benefit from our curriculum and contribute to the life of the college and society. Grades, standardized test scores, essays, recommendations, independent work, the quality of the secondary school program and achievements outside the classroom are among the factors used to evaluate this promise, but no one of these measures is considered determinative.

If you're hunkered down right now with some time on your hands to cook, try out this recipe for chicken biryani, a childhood favorite of acclaimed author Aatish Taseer '01. “When I was 18 and on my way to college at Amherst, I thought ‘I could do without pretty much everything else except this,'" he explains in a recent The New York Times piece. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/10/t-magazine/aatish-taseer-chicken-biryani.html
For the writer Aatish Taseer, a childhood staple has taken on new resonance in light of Delhi’s citizenship protests.
Here are some heartening stats offered up by psychology professor Catherine Sanderson in a piece for the Psychology Today website: Recent research has found that dog owners had a 20 percent lower risk of dying over the course of the 12- year study and were 23 percent less likely to die of cardiovascular disease. She cites this and four other facts as reasons to take in a new furry family member during the COVID-19 outbreak. https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/norms-matter/202004/5-great-reasons-adopt-dog-during-the-pandemic
Research explains why dogs are good for psychological and physical well-being.

In the first of three narrative articles produced by a UMass Journalism Department class for the Daily Hampshire Gazette, College Chief Financial Officer Kevin Weinman shed some light on the questions Amherst's senior administration discussed in making the decision to transition to remote learning and work. Among them: “What’s the worst that might happen here if we do or don’t make a decision? And can we handle that?” The story also explores the experiences of College senior Bennett Fagan and physics professor Kannan “Jagu” Jagannathan.

Carley Malloy ’22, a citizen of the Potawatomi Nation, Oklahoma, who grew up in Vermont, explains how to make a hooped beaded earring during the December 2019 INCA student group event.
As classes came to a close in December, the Indigenous and Native Citizens Association (INCA) hosted a beading night, where students came together to learn and practice the craft of beading over a dinner of traditional foods catered by Chef Sherry Pocknett, a member of the Aquinnah Wampanoag. Alexis Scalese '22 organized the event, inspired by the importance the act of beading has played in her life and her understanding of her Native identity.
In honor and recognition of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we thought it only fitting to share the audio of a stirring speech the civil rights leader made at the New School for Social Research in 1964.

Jana Barber '19, one of the captains of the women's crew team, has been rowing for four years, but she hadn't set foot in a boat until her freshman year of college. "What I love about crew is that it's the ultimate team sport," she says. "The fastest boats aren't necessarily made up of the fastest people. They're the boats of people who work best together." Jana, a French and LJST (Law, Jurisprudence, and Social Thought) major, plans to apply to law school within the next few years, and eventually go into criminal defense, but says she hopes to always keep a boat and a river in her life. The #AmherstVoices highlights the variety of voices and experiences on our campus. Video and photos by Maria Stenzel and Matai Curzon '22. Text by Julia Pike ’19.
