This old house

·

In May, I couldn’t leave Bloomington fast enough. I aimed my car north-northwest and gunned it. Four-and-a-half hours of pedal-to-the-metal and I never once looked back. Spring semester had been stressful and seemed to last at least a whole year and a half. Besides, I had a really cool summer job lined up. What could be more fun and less stressful than spending a summer as a camp counselor in Maine?

Who evaluates the evaluators?

In a recent speech introducing his leadership team, IU President Michael McRobbie cited IU’s recent drop in the U.S. News and World Report college rankings as a sign of IU’s “static” conditions. At the same time that it frets over its slide from 70th to 75th, IU trumpets its status as a program “to look for” – whatever that means. But what kind of relevance do these rankings really have?

We put the ‘art’ in ‘heart’

With all the hype over Eric Gordon and our new University President Michael McRobbie, it can be easy to forget that Bloomington houses a world-famous music school and a dense local arts community. We’re going to change that. Both of us are passionate about the arts and our main goal is to make them more accessible to students and residents so that others can share our appreciation.
