That's new. Although kinda creepy too. Maybe they should include an option where they can customize or change their online trainer.

What I like about this poem is that it creates, for me, a salutary discomfort. Its subject is one that when addressed in public, speakers are often required to make gestures toward compensatory wholeness--whether it be found in sketches of lost lives, the promise of religion, or a nation defiant and proud. The poem's recounting of scientific and bureaucratic processes, and the use of their right names, leaves the reader with language that often feels like concrete rubble. Even the efforts of a family to heal are resolutely ambiguous. I appreciate that the poem's memorializing gesture does not veer away from the devastation in search of consolation.

I enjoyed reading the blogs your students have posted. I can sense the joy and truthfulness they felt when writing the story. Whether it's a sense of owe, awe, or madness, they surely valued the experiences the school brought them because it is worth remembering.

It is interesting to me that it is difficult for the illegal immigrants to get back into mexico. From a strictly logical standpoint, you'd think that the US would allow them to leave if they wish to do so. And while the reason for immigration to the US is usually financial, those with the means can try for the eb-5 investor visa. This visa creates 10 American jobs for each immigrant.

Wow--thanks. I'm honored that you took the time to read (and even better, respond) to my remarks.

Well done and well said, Dean Braden!
Life is (among other things) a question to be explored. I can't think of a finer place to explore life than NC State.

Incisive, moving, beautiful article. Thanks for me...

Incisive, moving, beautiful article. Thanks for mentioning Betty Friedan. She's one of my heroes, with whom few of our students today are familiar.

Congratulations and best of luck to your son as he begins his college career. As a French major, I know that it doesn't get any better than McGill. And Montreal is a wonderful city offering a wealth of opportunities.

CHASS has an important and unique role within the university community. We are the ones who guide students to live a "questioned" life. Thanks for your support and leadership as we pursue our mission.
