Bree Tomlinson, an Environmental Studies student, and I were talking last week about December, snow and how drastically different Charleston is than our hometowns. Both of us come from areas where this is a typical Saturday chore. If you dealt with that for 20 some-odd years, you’d want to get as south as fast as…
Graduate Student Poster Session
Mondays are a rough day. So much business to cover – especially during a Monday Morning Meeting. Our office takes a long time to cover what happened last week, and what to expect this week. I thought for sure that this morning’s meeting was going to be short with only four staff members, but I…

Our campus is going green – literally!
Charleston doesn’t get snow very often, and as a former Buffalonian, that’s a difficult fact to face during December. In fact, the last time I saw a fair amount of snow was my first year in Charleston: 1999. I remember the entire city shut down that day for a snow flurry – something I found…

Update on The Road Less Traveled
A few weeks ago, I blogged about Environmental Studies student Nikki Seibert and her award for being a “green catalyst of change.” Charleston’s local newspaper, The Post & Courier, also caught wind of Nikki’s accomplishments and put her on the front page of Saturday’s People Section. Congrats Nikki!…
Shellfish on Treadmills
Our very own Dr. Lou Burnett was featured with Pacific University’s David Scholnick on NBC’s Today Show last Tuesday! This all started with a blue crab and a treadmill. Then social media took over, and now shrimp and blue crab are seen running along a treadmill set to classic themes from Rocky and even Benny…
