When I think back to my first weekend as a ���������������� freshman, I cringe a little bit. Though it has been four years since I attended Kickoff (it was known as “Welcome Weekend” at the time), I can still remember how I felt walking around campus for the first time: attending convocation in the MAC; trying to remember the names of buildings; getting lost looking for my lecture halls; taking the esplanade all the way downtown and peaking into little shops; and anxiously meeting new people, wondering what we might have in common. Most of all, I remember the uncertainty that surrounded those ...

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recently awarded a three-year, $460,000 grant to Dr. Douglas Delahanty, Professor of Psychologic...

Another October, another Columbus Day. But if Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492, why does the United States bear the name of Amerigo Vespucci, an explorer who did not come along until 1499? It has to do with a great public relations campaign on Vespucci’s part, and  stubbornness on Columbus’s part for refusing to admit that he had discovered new lands, not Asia, explains Matthrew Crawford, Ph.D., ���������������� associate professor of history, in an article in the online magazine Live Science. Dr. Crawford features prominently in an article by author Laura Geggel for Livesc...
