your students? I think I have learned that as important as making music at a high level is, it’s also important to make deep personal connections. Those make the music-making even better! All of my students are so different.

It was, ‘Here are the white gloves, take good care.’” To find the men who worked on the highway, Wells and Schrecengost contacted World War II veterans and African-American soldiers organizations. This is where the investigative journalism kicked in. There were the blind phone calls, asking if so-and-so lived here or if the person on the other end of the phone was “the family of” so-and-so. “We

July 27, 2011 ‘We are all Norwegians’ By Loren J. Anderson Ladies and Gentlemen: We gather this evening to remember and pay tribute, to share our hurt and show that we care, and to grieve for those we have lost, even as we reach out to support one another.

Sonnenberg ’14, counting 30,000 seeds so minuscule that 5,000 can fit on a thumbnail. It took days. Dahms asked himself, “What did I get myself into?” As a biology major who has an interest in molecular biology and hopes to go to medical school, he never thought he’d be studying plants as part of a student-faculty research project. “I really didn’t care for plants all that much,” he said. “But I came in with an open mind of what I can do and what I can learn, and really had one of the best summers of my

just another way the university is removing barriers for students who are striving to better themselves. “One thing that stands out to me, as cliché as it sounds, is the care and genuine interest the faculty and staff show toward us students,” Harris said. “I have had good teachers throughout my life, but never all at once. Every single professor of this program wants to see me succeed and does not only tell me, but shows me. I am excited to know that when I graduate I will have the skills and
