President Coleman delivered a keynote address on "What Matters" this week to kick off the 63rd annual Conference on World Affairs, a five-day event at the University of Colorado Boulder that draws nearly 100,000 people from around the country each year.

51³ÉÈËÁÔÆæ has released the second annual edition of , a first-of-its-kind anthology of premier fiction, poetry, nonfiction, and artwork selected from more than 30 American undergraduate literary journals. Featuring work from the University of Georgia, Harvard, Louisiana State University, Princeton, Oberlin, Rice, Susquehanna, Stanford, and Vassar, the anthology is the only national online compilation of undergraduate writing today.

In the wake of two landmark Supreme Court decisions on the right to bear arms—District of Columbia v. Heller and McDonald v. Chicago—the Four College Issues Forum, a joint initiative of 51³ÉÈËÁÔÆæ, Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, Southern Vermont College, and Williams College, has invited a panel of rural and urban law enforcement officers from Vermont, Massachusetts, and New York to discuss their crucial, yet seldom heard perspectives on gun control.

The College is pleased to announce that screenwriter, producer, and alumna Melissa Rosenberg '86 has made a gift to establish an endowed scholarship in the performing arts.

Columbia University Newberry Professor of Geology Wallace S. Broecker, a major figure in the climate-change debate and one of the most influential geoscientists of the last half-century, will discuss "What Must We Do to Combat Global Warming?" onThursday, September 30, at 7:30pm in the College's Tishman Lecture Hall. The event, this year's Robert H. Woodworth Lecture in the Sciences, is free and open to the public.
