After more than a decade, university administration finally made the momentous decision to establish domestic partnership benefits for Eastern employees.
What this means for faculty and staff members is that if their living partners are over 18 years old, not a relative, not employed by the homeowner and ineligible for Medicare, then they will receive extended benefits through the university.

Each August, students from around the country move back into their homes on college campuses. What is not the norm is to receive a gift upon returning- as well as throughout the year.
How many college kids can say they received an American Apparel T-shirt, sunglasses, a bag and Croakies? Not many.

I am always nervous about meeting new people. I constantly feel awkward when I have to shake hands with a stranger and tell him or her my name, which they probably will not even remember in the first place. It takes awhile for freshmen truly to realize that they're in college.

Five years ago, I was a young U.S. Marine stationed in New Orleans, La. As a Marine, I was trained to respond to any situation with speed, intensity and a level head; but when Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast, I had no idea how to respond. Generally, any New Orleans resident can tell you that hurricane evacuations happen just about every week during the summer, so by late August 2005, we all left the city of New Orleans thinking this was another false alarm and that we would be back in a day or two.

Do you have class on Thursday afternoon or evening? Are you planning on going to next Thursday's football game against Auburn? You may have trouble doing both. Classes are not canceled Thursday, even though the campus will be swarming with over 50,000 Bulldog and Tiger fans.

I began to develop favorites in music at a very early age, and being surrounded by a family full of musicians never hindered that process. My mother was and still is an avid Stevie Nicks follower, and my dad, although one of U2's biggest fans, always loved to play bluegrass and country on his old acoustic.
