Tavarus is currently a member of his college debate team and enjoys deploying with and interacting with arguments of all sorts while considering the different ways that we can think about the problems we face. He is also an editor on his school newspaper.
Since coming to college, social justice has increasingly become an interest of Tavarus's. Primarily the ways in which we create or measure how disparate outcomes can reflect a just society or not. These questions are engaged by Tavarus on a personal, academic, and administrative level.
