What’s new this week:
In the wake of last Thursday’s shooting at a Maryland Rite Aid warehouse, this Baltimore Sun article on the rarity of female and transgendered male mass shooters highlights expertise from Longwood University Professor Virginia Beard.
President Raynard Kington of Grinnell College shares his thoughts on some important topics this week. In a special report on geographic diversity for The Chronicle of Higher Education, President Kington reflects on his experience moving from D.C. to rural Iowa and how he found a home in Grinnell. And he urges academics to unite behind journalists and news outlets in support of fellow truth-tellers in a piece for Inside Higher Ed.
This Chronicle of Higher Education roundup of how rural colleges make the most of their locations also includes Grinnell, with comments from Dean for Careers, Life, and Service Mark Peltz and Vice President for Enrollment Joseph Bagnoli.
