���߲ݴ�ý University will kick off its fall lecture series with its annual Visions & Ventures Symposium, which will address the economics, ethics and politics of sports.

In January, ���߲ݴ�ý University’s Historical Studies Program expanded to Omaha. That expansion also brought Iain Anderson to ���߲ݴ�ý as the program’s new associate director.

Last month 37 Omaha Public School teachers enrolled in ���߲ݴ�ý University’s Master of Arts in Historical Studies Program.

This marks the first time the graduate program has been offered in Omaha, thanks to the U.S. Department of Education’s “Teaching American History Grant Program.”

Dr. Rita McGuire has been named the new Director of Nursing at ���߲ݴ�ý University.

On Wednesday, October 20th, University College hosted members of the Lincoln Chamber's Young Professionals Group for a "Netperking" event. Attendees enjoyed coffee and pastries, heard information about the Advantage and Forensic Science programs, participated in a game of "Clue," and took tours of the Forensic Science Crime Scene Apartment. About 40 people attended the event.

A ���߲ݴ�ý University forensic science professor has been deployed to Haiti where she will spend two weeks working in a mobile morgue.

“We train for this,” said Melissa Connor, professor and director of ���߲ݴ�ý’s Forensic Science Program. “These are the situations you deal with when you work in the forensic science field.”

Lisa Borchardt beams whenever she gets a phone call from a service agency asking for a Wesleyan student volunteer.

“That speaks highly of the quality and excellence of our students,” said Borchardt.

It also says something about Borchardt who was recently named the “Nebraska Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers Southeastern Region Social Worker of the Year.”

While sitting in her “Readings in Spanish Literature” class last spring, ���߲ݴ�ý student Lexie Zoucha got an idea.

Two ���߲ݴ�ý University art professors have been selected to have their work showcased at the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C.
