I hope that everyone had a great break for Thanksgiving. Judging by the dwindling numbers of people on campus Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday last week, I suspect some of you took more than a couple of days off.

This week we'll have a few days break for the Thanksgiving holiday. After a long semester it will be a welcome break. We could wish it came closer to the middle of the semester than the end. So take a break, but stay focused. Spend some time discussing what you have learned this semester with friends and family.Some of you will get the chance to go...Your Campus, Your Home

Wherever you are in your four-year plan, it's a great time to commit to your graduation date. I wanted to be sure that you all know about Senior Countdown. It is a program that provides an opportunity for you to earn rewards and gain access t...Summer
As the fall weather starts to finally kick in (at least a few mornings are cool), we can see that we've turned the corner, and we are more than halfway through the semester. Like many of you, my mind starts to wander to what I'll do next summer. Seriously? Next summer? It's not even November!!? There are tons of great opportunities for learning and...Natural Sciences Week
