This is kind of old news around here, but I’ll link to it anyway: “EMU gifts at all-time high,” from the AANews. Two quick thoughts for now: first, this just goes to show you what a year of relative stability can do around EMU– at least that’s what the article quotes Ronald Miller (the associate VP for advancement) as saying.
Second, I’d really like to figure out a class to teach up at the Jean Noble Parsons Center for the Study of Art and Science. But I’d have to figure out a way to talk the Art, Biology, and/or Psychology department into that one….
try team teaching a course with someone in one of those departments. a course on the psychology of the web? a photoblogging course? who knows, I’m just reaching at the moment. I am certain that you could easily find a way to bend your research/teaching/interests to fit another faculty members.
