Reali-TEA and Cookies in Outhaus

Outhaus (Naito I) residents ventured outside the bubble, to discuss current, real-world news.

It can be easy at Reed to lose track of current world events. To provide a forum for exposure to and discussion of supra-Reed happenings, for one evening the Outhaus common room was stocked with current events articles, tea, and cookies.

The articles featured local and international stories, ranging from politics to environment to science.

Dialogue regarding the recent developments between Russia and the Ukraine took center stage, and students discussed the history and the motivations behind the actions on either side.

It seems that there is no escaping our inherent Reedie-ness, however, because eventually the conversation turned to an exploration of the question, “what is reality?”
