Last week, Ayiana Davis Polen finally set foot on the campus of Spelman College a historically Black liberal arts school for women in Atlanta. She’s a freshman there but had started her college experience last fall taking classes from her bedroom in Puerto Rico.
Back then, she wasn’t sure if it felt like college but then again, she had nothing to compare it with.
Now, she’s about to. Spelman, like many colleges across the U.S., is beefing up its in-person offerings for the spring semester. For Davis Polen, that meant there was a spot for her in a dorm on the picturesque campus.

In a flurry of first-week executive orders, President Biden sent a definitive message that his administration would move faster on climate change than any before. Now, the question is whether it will be fast enough.
Scientists warn that the coming decade will be critical for slowing heat-trapping emissions, potentially keeping average annual global temperatures from rising more than 1.5 degrees Celsius compared to the mid-19th century. Right now, the world is on track for an increase of 3 degrees Celsius, a level that ensures more destructive wildfires and hurricanes, devastation for coral reefs and rising seas flooding the coastlines.
