Abstract: Universities used to be known for three things—education, employment, and entertainment. It is time to add a fourth “e” to that list—economic development. Over the past several years, universities have been increasingly
called upon to partner with regional
assets to create economic opportunities.
President Todd will discuss how the entire
university community can work together to
enhance regional economic conditions.VIDEO: David Wilson (00:00:00-00:07:50) -- Lee T. Todd, Jr. (00:07:51-00:43:35) -- Questions (00:43:36-00:46:45).

"Gemini Twins" dresses
No full textShift dresses of bright yellow polyester jersey knit and black embroidery, each with one short set-in sleeve and one long sleeve connecting the two dresses. Wide V-shaped necklines, knee length. At the bust, uneven embroidery and applied thick cord create shape of breasts, with larger coils of braid and hanging tassels mimicking pasties surrounded by embroidered daisy petal motifs on one dress and embroidered spirals on the other. Black embroidery and applied bands of woven braid across fronts of dresses create registers that read across the garments:
"Slight...clever" and "Jane...Russell"
"Marilyn" and "Monroe"
"Christine" and "Jorgensen"

Introduction
No full textApuleius and Africa
The Metamorphoses or The Golden Ass of Apuleius (ca. 170 CE ) is a Latin
novel written by a native of Madauros in Roman North Africa, a region
roughly equal to modern Tunisia together with parts of Libya and Algeria.
Apuleius’ novel is based on the model of a lost Greek novel; it narrates the
adventures of a Greek character with a Roman name who spends the bulk
of the novel transformed into an animal, traveling from Greece to Rome
only to end his adventures in the capital city of the empire as a priest of the
Egyptian goddess Isis. Apuleius’ Florida and Apology deal more explicitly
with the African provenance and character of their author while also dem-
onstrating his complex interaction with Greek, Roman, and local cultures.
Apuleius’ philosophical works raise other questions about Greek versus
African and Roman cultural identity.
Apuleius and Africa addresses the problem of this intricate complex of
different identities and its connection to Apuleius’ literary production. It
especially emphasizes Apuleius’ African heritage, which has for the most
part been downplayed or even deplored by previous scholarship. The con-
tributors include philologists, historians, and experts in material culture;
among them are some of the most respected scholars in their fi elds. The
chapters give due attention to all elements of Apuleius’ oeuvre and break
new ground both on the interpretation of Apuleius’ literary production and
on the culture of the Roman Empire in the second century

Of Courtiers and Kings: More Stories of Supreme Court Law Clerks and Their Justices (Todd C. Peppers & Clare Cushman eds., 2015)
No full textIn Of Courtiers and Kings, Todd C. Peppers and Clare Cushman offer an intimate new look at the personal and professional relationships of law clerks with their justices. Going beyond the book’s widely acclaimed predecessor, I n Chambers, the vignettes collected here range from reflections on how serving as clerks at the Supreme Court impacted the careers of such justices as Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan, William Rehnquist, John G. Roberts Jr., and John Paul Stevens to personal recollections written by parents and children who have both served as Supreme Court clerks. While individual essays often focus on a single justice and his or her corps of clerks—including how that justice selected and utilized the clerks—taken as a whole the volume provides a macro-level view of the evolution of the role of the Supreme Court law clerk. Drawing on a rich repository of such anecdotes, insights, and experience, the volume relates in a clear and accessible style how the clerking function has changed over time and what it is like for law clerks to be witnesses to history.
Offering a rare glimpse into a normally unseen world, Of Courtiers and Kings reveals the Court’s increasing reliance on law clerks and raises important questions about the selection, utilization, and influence of law clerks.https://scholarlycommons.law.wlu.edu/fac_books/1132/thumbnail.jp
