Recent news from the college:
- Changing values, changing results
- (Bio)sensing the body’s demands
- If you would like to see past stories please visit CNAS NewsWatch!
- If you would like to see an article about you and/or one of your students or even a group of students – here’s what we are looking for! Submit the information to either your department head or the dean’s office. Faculty publications, faculty grants (typically we wait until you have some results to share along with just getting the grant), faculty and students attending/presenting at a conference – typically we do one article with all presenters and titles of presentation along with some basic information about the conference, student research (undergraduate or graduate) – please recommend students who have accomplished something great in the lab or won an award or gained admission to a graduate/professional program or who started at awesome job after graduation. We have also asked University Communications to write articles based on seminar speakers, especially if they are alumni but that is not required. One other idea for publication is a class project, a unique class field trip or something else unique about the class that is being taught.
Carrie’s Cafe is now open for take-out-orders only. Support our students by placing your order.
