Singled out

·

Greg Willoughby lived alone in Willkie Residence Center. In 2010, he died and was not found until 10 days later. In the aftermath, questions lingered.

Couchsurfing across the country

·

Couchsurfing.com is more than just strangers asking strangers to crash on a couch for the night. It’s become a community, a social networking site that puts travelers of all ages and backgrounds in touch with not only a place to stay night by night, but also a place to connect with locals, other travelers, and opportunities they wouldn’t have if they just picked the discount hotel.

Between worlds

Abdal-Razzaq Moaz is between three worlds – the Syrian civil war, his family in Egypt, and his one year teaching fellowship in the U.S. Without the technology that exists today, Abdal-Razzaq would be stuck between these three worlds – unable to communicate with his family thousands of miles away and unable to stay connected with what is happening in his home country.



Raven and her kids

A new groove

·

As a mother of two, 22-year-old Raven Lagenour feels out of place on campus. She identifies more with people in their late 30s than college kids in their early 20s.
