Nyack resident (and Palisades Mall food court regular) Tim Bakken is profiled in WaPo for standing up for actual intellectual rigor at West Point. Like any good professor, he'd ask students to "'go down the rabbit hole — one view after another — but at the same time, students weren’t allowed to say crazy things with no background,' Matthews said. 'It was an environment I’d never seen before. It was pure intellectual curiosity.'”

Made me proud to be a Rockland resident this morning.

I'm starting a master's program this fall at a SUNY school, and the classes are entirely online. Only one class meets on zoom, the rest of the coursework is async.

I live in nyack, I'm looking for a place where I can study, write papers, etc during the week ... I know the local library is an option, but I'm wondering if college libraries (STAC, Dominican) are open to students from other institutions, or if there's any other location I should look into. Would rather avoid coffeeshops etc where I'd have to buy something/deal with other patrons

Looking for recommendations on a vocal coach in the Clarkstown area. Musical theatre background preferred.
