thing to think about is the fact that even the students paying the full sticker price at the most expensive college in America (currently that’s Sarah Lawrence College, at $67,000 per year) are still receiving some subsidy from society—tax breaks, tax exemptions, gifts, endowment proceeds, federal and state grants for research, construction, and equipment, etc. So, as “commodities” go, a college education is one of the most complex “products” there is. That’s probably enough for now. Please comment

and arguments in the field. I can often put them in contact with authors we’re reading. I have also worked with some students who have done well in these classes in conducting student- faculty research on a variety of animal-related issues. This work outside the classroom has resulted in collaborative projects that have been presented at conferences and published in books and journals. For me, scholarship and teaching are fluid aspects of one process and they regularly blend into each other. I

.” The organization offers a moral response to the ecological destruction that accompanies climate change’s threats, particularly to vulnerable, frontline, and marginalized communities, Schwartz says. “So much of climate change is driven by science and research, without putting people, community and culture at the forefront. There are human impacts of climate change that need to have their story heard and represented.” Schwartz notes that nearly 70% of Black people live or have lived within 30 miles

Her academic journey culminated in a passion for cultural revitalization. The seed that was planted with Hall’s initial research in college has become a major part of her daily life.

opportunities for students interested in applying math skills to real-world problems. Each year she covers the modeling process and techniques, then asks students what they’re interested in. “It’s an ocean of knowledge,” she said. “You can pretty much model anything.” In her own research, Zhu uses math to understand underlying mechanisms in developmental biology, such as pattern formations in butterflies, the kind of unexpected application that opens students’ minds to possible connections—not only between

courses can have on the academic accomplishments of first-year student-athletes when he was coaching at Trinity University. “All the first-years came in together, got to know each other, but then got to dig into the transitions of the writing skills, research resources, time management,” he said. “The changes we saw were an increase in freshman GPA and then over the course of four years we saw an increase in team GPA.” When McAdams discovered that his new job had a similar program, he was ready to get

delineation. What do you enjoy about your internship? I love this amalgam of scientific research and manual labor. There are plenty of chances to read and evaluate data, but it’s also truly satisfying to learn by physically living here. It may sound sentimentalized to say this; there’s something irreplaceable about waking up in nature, working outside, and listening to the outdoors. You’d be surprised how much information you can pick up from this 74,000-acre ecosystem by default through spending time
