Lehman College Basketball: The Lightning Strikes Back with a New Season
By Adolfo Miliano and Jesus Vargas
In the pages of history, whispers of artificial intelligence (AI) have captivated our imagination. Long before the 21st century dawned, visionaries envisioned machines that could think and learn like humans.
Now, more than ever, going to college has become less of a natural path and more of a question. With the efficacy of a degree seeming to be at its lowest point, the volatile job market, and social media being a legitimate source of income for many, would-be undergrads are electing to skip college and instead seek other opportunities.
Lehman College, nestled in the heart of the Bronx, is more than just an institution of higher learning. It serves as a beacon of hope and support for many individuals, including students, staff, and alumni.
It’s that time of year again. When students are scrambling to build up stamina to seize the midterm testing season. The fall semester is more than halfway over, the Lehman community is feeling the pressure of being piled with exams, projects, and papers in order to test their knowledge.
For many students at Lehman, grabbing a bite to eat between classes or catching up with friends over lunch is an essential part of the college experience. Whether it’s breakfast in the morning, lunch in the afternoon, or even a simple snack to get through the day, eating something while on campus has become essential to students.
The piece begins slowly, with controlled movements and silence, and stays this way with the audio sprinkled in. Bits came in and fled, initially confusing me about what was occurring.

THE STUDENT VOICE OF LEHMAN COLLEGE.
The Meridian, the student voice of Lehman College, derives its name from Meridian, Mississippi, the town that served as a base for many of the Freedom Riders of 1964. It was the departure point for volunteers James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner, who traveled to Philadelphia, Mississippi to investigate a church bombing. There they were killed by local law enforcement and the Ku Klux Klan, and thus they became martyrs in the struggle for equality. Serving Lehman College since 1964, the Meridian is the students’ and faculty’s primary source of collegiate news. Every month we provide readers with hard-hitting news stories and passionate arts, theater, dance, music, and book reviews.
Members and coaches of both Lehman’s Men’s and Women’s basketball teams spoke about the upcoming season on Lehman's Media Day on October 18th. In this interview, players and coaches on both sides spoke about their upcoming season, their meticulous training regiments, and the goals they’re striving for.
