Roopika Risam has done excellent work putting together the #BrexitSyllabus collection on Google Docs. I have been helping to add hyperlinks to each entry as time warrants, but I have also created a Zotero group to house links as well. I will continue working on this as new links are added to the document.
Stockton Scholarship 2016
One of the best days of the academic year is our annual awards breakfast in the spring. I have been nominating faculty for a few awards over the years, but the past two years I have given a scholarship to an RCBC student who is transferring to Stockton University. This year the scholarship was awarded to Christine Liddie. As I mention in my remarks, I never had Christine as a student but the RCBC community came forward and I got tons of positive feedback about her. I am thrilled to continue doing this scholarship and look forward to next years ceremony.
