Danielle Levy, Class of 2025, holds Tuppi the plushie, a cuddly cuneiform tablet that she invented. Tuppi, inspired by Levy’s love of Squishmallows, means “my tablet” in Akkadian. The text is a Sumerian riddle: “One enters it blind and leaves it seeing.” The answer: school. Tuppi was such a popular item at ISAC’s gift shop that it’s now sold out. (Photography by Jason Smith)
