Juuls at School are Smokin’ A Talk with Father Engh New “Voices of Santa Clara” podcast features University President Gavin Cosgrave Special Correspondent

The following is an entry in a series called “Voices of Santa Clara,” which profiles noteworthy students and faculty. The Q & A is excerpted from the “Voices of Santa Clara” podcast.

Father Michael Engh, S.J. is the president of Santa Clara, a position he has held since 2009. He sits on a wide variety of boards and committees both within the university and across the nation. Fr. Engh started out as a history professor, and spent many years at Loyola Marymount Univer- sity in . Gavin Cosgrave: You took a two-year break from teaching at Loyola Marymount to work at the Dolores Mission in Los Angeles. Why did you choose to work there, and were there any experiences during that time that shaped the rest of your life? Michael Engh: Every day I would go to the research library and work on my book, and then come back and help out at the parish. Twice a week I worked at juvenile hall helping students get through their GED’s. These were people who didn’t have anyone to pay attention to them, so it introduced me to a whole new reality. These were young people between 13 and 18 awaiting a court date or doing their time there. Since I was doing work on social justice his- tory in Los Angeles, this was grounding me in

A review of Wes Anderson’s new stop-motion film

Ethan Beberness The Santa Clara

Frankly, I’m biased. I’ll be the first to admit I’m a huge Wes Anderson fanboy. That being said, “Isle of Dogs” has everything I could have wanted from a new Wes Anderson movie. I honestly cannot tell which aspect of “Isle of AP Dogs” I enjoyed most: the “Isle of Dogs” is director Wes Anderson’s second project with his distinct stop-motion animation style. His previous experimentation with this method was in 2009’s “Fantastic Mr. Fox”; quirky, self-aware dialogue, a beautiful film adaptation of the Roald Dahl book of the same name.
