I took up the role of leadership, assigned tasks, organized meetings and worked outside of class hours to complete the testing. Taking charge wasn’t always easy for me but, at the College of Saint Benedict, there is a NSF S-STEM scholarship program called FoCuS. The program provides…

Although some believe that having guns on campus would create an atmosphere of fear and paranoia amongst the students, the threat of a wild west type shootout are minimal at worst.

What if a small girl walked into a restaurant and saw a tough looking businessman that was holding a leash. What if at the end of the leash was an exotic white tiger. A white tiger that was being choked by the leash and was aggressively attacking those around him. A white tiger who was trying to kill. People should not be allowed to own exotic pets.
