In My Words

The Day is Young

President Emeritus Tom Kunkel, back on campus this year in the interim presidential role, speaks to happy memories, recent welcomes and the new work now in hand.

Personally Speaking

Doing This Well

While we’re talking about exponential functions, why shouldn’t we learn about payday loans, whose cost grows exponentially? As we strengthen our brains, we can use them to tackle societal challenges, says Jonathan Dunbar (Math).

Treasure

“Duet, Mary and Martha”

“This small statue beautifully speaks to vocation and specifically, to me as a Catholic woman, to the two sides of what a good human life looks like.” – Bridget Burke Ravizza (Theology & RS)

Alumni Profile

Have Love, Will Travel

Ann Tollaksen ’66 did not expect to run a deer park and petting zoo. She’s allergic to most animals. “I had eight years of shots and I’m still scared to pet the deer myself,” she says.

Big Picture

Pause for P.A.W.S.

Our photographer Thomas Janssen (Office of Communications) captured the moment as students petted away any worries and stress earlier this semester.

In Doggy Devotion

Judging from the number of “awww’s,” our pause for puppies was doing its work as students petted away any worries and stress earlier this semester.
