Editorial from Dean Angle
U.S. agriculture can feed the growing world
June 17, 2009 —
Rising population and growing nutritional demands will require food production to double by 2050. Where the increase in food production will occur depends upon geopolitics, climate or climate changes and environmental considerations.

eLC is Coming to a Computer Near You
Set to fully replace WebCT by 2010, eLearning Commons, or eLC, is a new learning tool—essentially an online learning environment for posting class materials, communicating with class members and assessing student learning— that will be offered as early as this summer for faculty who'd like to begin using the system. It will completely replace WebCT on campus by January 2010.
