Before Greg Mottola signed on to direct the hit comedy Superbad in 2007, he had already completed a script about the summer jobs he worked in Long Island - gigs he took for the sole purpose of saving money for graduate school. He was a night watchman at a public beach, an assistant wedding videographer and a staffer at an amusement park, managing various carnival games.

In Harvard’s two previous doubleheaders, players had failed to score more than five runs, and Coach Jenny Allard was happy to see the team?...
...Mitchnick’s commitment to teaching has been noted by faculty and students alike. After attending a creative and performing arts magnet school for four years, going to the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) seemed like a logical choice for Kayla A. Escobedo ’12.
