Change and the Liberal Arts

It may be that the single most over-hyped word in our world is "change." But change is, in fact, ubiquitous. Perhaps the biggest change in our world is the great East-West "shift" – the rise to prominence of what are often called the "emerging," or developing, nations and the concomitant decline of many of the so-called developed nations.

While many students were relaxing at home for four leisurely weeks, the women's basketball team was doing quite the opposite. With eight games over the holiday break, the ladies were kept busy with a grueling schedule. They started the series of games with a win against NJIT. Feeling strong after the game, they headed into a couple of disappointing losses before an amazing contest against Bucknell.
