‘That is Enough’ — It is time for us to focus on humanities

Consider the following two events that transpired during UF’s Homecoming week. First, the UF Board of Trustees selected Dr. Kent Fuchs to be the university’s next president. Second, I attended a UF-based talk which, among other things, alluded to the “innovative” research that could possibly be going on in the area of creating apps to remind people to brush their teeth.  Let’s now juxtapose these two aforementioned events that happened on the UF campus last week with three history-making events that happened in the broader U.S. society in the same time frame. First, the deadly Ebola virus made its way to the U.S. Second, gas prices fell to levels not seen since 2010. Third, our stock market dropped by as much as 460 points. What a week!

Have mid-semester blues? You can do it! Just remember we’re all in this together

The middle of the Fall 2014 semester has arrived. The middle of the semester signals the beginning of some wonderful things, such as the ability to start tentatively unpacking your sweaters in preparation for cooler weather and the onslaught of the pumpkin spice flavor being marketed in every single food product imaginable. There’s a whisper in the air of the holiday season just around the corner, when we can go home and blissfully forget about project deadlines.
