Exercise the American right, not the dream

State of the union is a mixed bag

President Barrack Obama addressed our nation on January 25, 2012.  The State of the Union is an annual address given by the President of the United States to Congress, explaining the positive changes our nation will be making.  In other words, it's a presidential brag session.

Studying abroad: the opportunity of a lifetime

As a student at UW-La Crosse, I feel very fortunate to have such a successful study abroad program that encourages students to partake in furthering their education in a foreign country.  Although many individuals may have the stereotypical idea that when choosing to study abroad, one has to dedicate either a semester or an entire year to the program, it is not entirely true.

Weathering the transition back to classes

Though there is no doubt that this first week of Spring semester has been quite a change of pace from our restful lives over winter break, was it difficult for the UW-La Crosse community to transition back to our academic mind set after a month long break or was the rest well needed to ensure our success this term?    This year's J-term was exactly 31 days long, and it is reasonable to say that we all got a chance to rest our hard working brains after a long semester of learning and studying.
