Although Vanessa Parise ’92 concentrated in biology as an undergraduate in Kirkland House, she has spent most of her post-college career outside of the sciences. After receiving acceptance letters from the medical schools of Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Cornell, and Stanford, she deferred for ten years in order to pursue acting in New York. “It was a really hard decision and an ongoing one. I kept deferring and coming up with a choice each year. For ten years I did that,” she said in a phone interview with The Crimson last...

Paley was laregly known as a short story writer—her “Collected Stories” was a Pulitzer finalist—and as a political activist. Yet she began her career as a poet, studying under W.H.
