Have you ever eaten nothing but fresh oysters for breakfast, lunch and dinner? I have. I traveled to Apalachicola, Fla. for my master’s project to interview locals about the myriad of economic engines the tiny town has seen over the past 200 years. The Apalach, as they call it, is home to some of the
Science might soon deliver me an answer to the question most adults wonder their entire lives. How will I die? Statistics has already done a good job laying the groundwork.

Students gained a dining hall, a meeting space and—for some—a new home on Sept. 6 with the formal opening of the $21 million University Student Center. Faculty and staff, local officials and members of the public gathered together with the students whose fees funded the 81,000 square foot building. “The University Student Center was a
