Previously Unpublished Photos of Andy Warhol and Friends by Steve Schapiro ’55 Published Posthumously in New Book

In 1965, Life hired photojournalist and Bard alumnus Steven Schaprio ’55 to photograph the then-ascendant Andy Warhol for the magazine. Life never published the photo series, and only now are they being published posthumously after Schapiro’s death in 2022. Rolling Stone featured a series of photos from Andy Warhol and Friends: 1965–1966, which “includes many never-before-seen documents of a pivotal time in Warhol’s life as he helped shape popular culture for decades to come.”

Graduate Vocal Arts Program Alumna Julia Bullock’s Debut Solo Album Named One of the “10 Best Classical Albums of 2022” by NPR

American classical singer Julia Bullock VAP ’11 released Walking in the Dark, her debut solo album, on December 9, 2022, on Nonesuch Records. NPR named the album one of the “10 Best Classical Albums of 2022" and listed it as number 14 on the “Top 50 Albums of 2022.” “Soprano Julia Bullock's affecting solo debut, with its breathtaking spin on a deep cut by the enigmatic Connie Converse and a sublime rendition of Samuel Barber's Knoxville: Summer of 1915, traces the tenuous connections individuals share with one another and their own senses of purpose on earth,” writes NPR Music producer Tom Huizenga.

“A Key Climate Metric Gets an Overdue Update” Writes Peter Howard ’03 in a Coauthored Op-Ed for the Hill

A “flurry of news” from COP27, the recent United Nations Climate Change Conference, meant that a policy change in the United States has gone largely unnoticed, writes Peter Howard ’03 in an opinion piece coauthored with Max Sarinsky for the Hill. Based in part on work done by Howard, the EPA revised the official social cost of carbon in 2020, from $51 to $190 for each ton of carbon-dioxide emissions. Now, because of action by the Biden administration, “decision-makers weighing critical policy choices will be equipped with a much more accurate tool for understanding climate impacts.”

“A Key Climate Metric Gets an Overdue Update” Writes Peter Howard ’03 in a Coauthored Op-Ed for the Hill

A “flurry of news” from COP27, the recent United Nations Climate Change Conference, meant that a policy change in the United States has gone largely unnoticed, writes Peter Howard ’03 in an opinion piece coauthored with Max Sarinsky for the Hill. It involves a change to the way the government measures the “social cost of carbon,” which “places a dollar value on greenhouse gas emissions and enables government decision-makers to weigh the costs and benefits of policies that affect climate pollution,” they write. First established under the Bush administration in 2008, the previous social cost of carbon was widely considered a “conservative underestimate.” Based in part on work done by Howard, the EPA revised the official social cost of carbon in 2020, from $51 to $190 for each ton of carbon-dioxide emissions. Now, because of action by the Biden administration, “decision-makers weighing critical policy choices will be equipped with a much more accurate tool for understanding climate impacts.”
