Hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend! I know I did: this weekend I was in DC to watch the Presidential Inauguration. It was exhausting, but an incredible chance to witness one of the most sacred parts of our democracy with 600,000 similarly excited (and freezing cold) Americans. I would describe the experience as the perfect funky blend of pomp, circumstance, and Beyonce - exactly what makes America great in the first place. I’m very grateful to the Yale College Dean’s Office and the Yale Intercultural Affairs Council, which provided a subsidized ride down to the Capital.
