Maybe in years auto-complete technology would have improved. The boarders wanted to cross the border? A bunch of lads loudly shouting "Fuck the Queen" to each other and no one in particular.

Made her walk a block over to the Boston Massacre site. Make her sit next to Morrisey. Encountered Ray Flynn maybe 5 or so years after that.

Very nice guy. In other Downtown news Downtown to get Thai street chicken and rice. Bright moon over Boston. Get some free coffee from the T.

A second group of 10 awardees will be honored at the Winter Commencement. In January , U. Baer and Sotomayor began by addressing the difficulties they faced when attending college: Sotomayor as a first-generation Latina at Princeton University and Baer at U-M with the dual challenge of being an international student and a lesbian who felt she had to hide her sexuality from her classmates.

Sotomayor responded to her situation by spending time talking to classmates who were completely different from herself — a technique she still uses when finding herself in unfamiliar surroundings. Baer and Norris had received honorary degrees from U-M in and , respectively.

The individual installations were notable for their size and scope. How can universities best engage with the many public interests, concerns and controversies that are inevitably part of their work? The signature event of the colloquium, held June 26, was an unprecedented gathering of the leaders of some of the most prestigious educational institutions in the world: the members of the Board of the Tanner Lectures on Human Values. Mark Schlissel hosted and participated in the event , which drew several thousand faculty, staff and students to Hill Auditorium.

Sir Leszek Borysiewicz, vice chancellor of the University of Cambridge, opened the discussion by speaking about the value of free speech. Some may find those views unacceptable or unpalatable. But to not discuss and debate them is actually the worst thing that universities can do. Harvard President Drew Gilpin Faust addressed communication from a different angle: the need to counteract negative media messaging about the rising cost of higher education and the impression that a college degree is out of reach for some students.

Princeton President Christopher Eisgruber said if universities care about excellence and talent, they must look for talented students from every sector in society and give them the tools to succeed.

If not, Schlissel added, everybody loses — and society is deprived of productive fellow citizens. The Spring Festival April 6—8 comprised nine events. Among the Michigan alumni on hand to join in the event were actor Darren Criss, physician-journalist Sanjay Gupta and policy advocate Cecilia Munoz. The Summer Festival June 26—27 began with the MStaff celebration, honoring past and present employees for their service to the university. MStaff feted its attendees with exhibits, r ef reshments and free gifts all along North University Ave.

Tents showcased the musical and artistic talents of staff, as well as the ways in which they contribute to the community. President Mark Schlissel also used the occasion to announce the fabrication of a new public art installation honoring staff contributions.

These accomplishments and ambitions extend across our entire mission as a public university.
