ACUBE '08

Last Thursday through Saturday, more than half of the RU Biology Department faculty (Drs. Scholes, Salem, Wills, Evans, and I) attended the 52nd annual meeting of the Association of College and University Biology Educators (ACUBE) at Hopkinsville Community College in Hopkinsville, KY. We were able to share some of our ideas about teaching, and at the same time pick up some innovative ideas from colleagues at other institutions. This meeting also gives us a forum in which to provide and receive feedback about teaching biology, and meet some new people with whom we share many interests. This is a fantasatic organization, and we had a lot of fun in Hopkinsville. Next year, Rockhurst is hosting the meeting; so we will have the opportunity to invite our colleagues to KC and show them how great Rockhurst is!

Please give Dr. Scholes my thanks for his fine line of footwear inserts.
