Gen. Colin Powell has a bright vision for the future. "Believe the world's a great place," Powell said during a press conference before his lecture at Butler University on Monday. Powell noted many recent achievements made by countries around the world in his speech as part of the Butler University Celebration of Diversity Distinguished Lecture Series. Dancers of today differ from dancers of previous generations, Denise Jefferson said at the Leadership through the Arts Forum at Butler University’s Eidson-Duckwall Recital Hall last Thursday night Butler University’s new core curriculum was presented at the SGA meeting last Wednesday. Chemistry professor Dr. Joe Kirsch introduced the curriculum outline to the assembly.
Kirsch said that this new curriculum will apply to the class of 2010. Assembly members voiced many questions regarding the new set of courses, despite the fact that it will not affect current students. On Feb. 5, tornadoes ripped through the campus of Union University in Jackson, Tenn. The tornadoes rolled over university dormitories and buildings leaving only wreckage.
The storms in Tennessee raise the question, is Butler’s campus prepared to deal with such a disaster? The department of mathematics and actuarial science is holding a poster contest to celebrate women’s history month in March. The department will be accepting posters featuring famous mathematicians or any topic involving women in mathematics. Butler University’s Health Center and Peers Advocating Wellness for Students (PAWS) are working together to educate students about the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) with ‘the HPV Initiative.’ Although not every major in the journalism department requires an internship to graduate, Butler does offer class credit for approved internships and encourages them as an introduction into the professional world.
