The Young Entrepreneurship Speaker Series, started this year by sophomores Alexis Geller and Russell Rosenthal, provides an opportunity for members of the Riverdale community to explore the work of entrepreneurs who change the world for good. “We found it really important to go down the entrepreneur track,” explained Geller about the start of the series. She continued, “In this crazy, always-changing world, it's really great to be able to create your own path as an entrepreneur and to bring people in to show others about that.”

As Riverdale students, we are constantly glancing at the time as we rush between classes, staring at the clock during particularly long periods, or savoring the time that we have left as we scramble to finish assessments. Most of us, however, do not recognize that behind every tick of a timekeeping device is an extensive art and science, the study of which is known as horology. 

November 19, 2019 held a special promise for the Riverdale community: a day off classes. However, One World Day proved to be so much more. On this day, high schoolers listened to poetry, wrote stories, attended workshops, participated in improv, and even indulged in a donut wall and a chocolate fountain, all with the goal of coming together as a community to explore storytelling.
