What Is a Reedie, Anyway?

Meet twelve graduates from the class of ’23.

October 11, 2023

They studied mouthbrooding fish, knapped obsidian, analyzed Beyoncé and Katy Perry, investigated disability labor policy, translated Chinese and Russian, played frisbee and basketball and chess, learned to rock climb and to crochet and to knit—meet 12 members of the class of 2023 as they reflect on their time at Reed, the professors who inspired them, and the ideas that blew their minds.
