Who let the dogs out? Now don't get us wrong, the little guy is way cute. And we understand making the transition from
high school to college is hard. And yes, it does help to have familiar things from home around you. But really, you have to
draw the line somewhere. Pretty soon we will see students carrying around ratty old baby blankets in Linus-esque style.
Good grief!
VIZUALIZE
"The opportunities for involvement are
much greater here than at University Park,"
said Blasko. "The staff here does real re
search, and the administration supports it. We
have a nice combination of good students,
good resources, and the chance to do research
directly with faculty."
Indeed, the administration has welded con
cepts of faculty interaction and advantageous
student circumstance to create a valuable in
terface for Behrend students. Yet, the oppor
tunities remain underutilized by the majority
of the student body.
"Instead of waiting in line for a sandwich,"
begins Blasko's analogy, "there's a whole
smorgasbord available. But we're not going
to stuff it down your throat. You have to ask
for it.-
