In this episode of Between 2 Mammoths, President Michael Elliott visits Morris Pratt Dormitory for a conversation with Weixin Lin ’28. The visit is a trip down memory lane for President Elliott, who lived in that very same building during his first year as an Amherst student.

In this episode:
- Pratt Then and Now: President Elliott and Weixin compare notes on the dormitory, from its "two-room triples" of the past to its current role as a vibrant residential community.
- A Global Perspective: Originally from Tsukuba, Japan, Weixin discusses her decision to move across the world for a four-year undergraduate experience.
- Life in Morris Pratt: Weixin shares what it's like living in the International Community Housing on the fourth floor and making a home with her best friend.
- Building Community: From the Japanese Culture Club's sushi and matcha events to hosting a language table, Weixin explains how she helps connect students from all backgrounds.
- Academic Updates: Weixin celebrates a major milestone—officially declaring her major in Computer Science.
- The Closing Challenge: See if President Elliott can master the formal Japanese translation for "Between 2 Mammoths": Ni hiki no manmosu no aida de.

About Between 2 Mammoths: In this series, President Michael Elliott sits down with members of the Amherst community for short, informal dialogues that offer a snapshot of life on campus.
