But what if you were separated from your biological other half? As far- fetched as they might seem, the stories are often true and always fascinating: twins separated at birth, reunited in adulthood. What does their experience reveal about heredity and environment? How can twins explain the effects of heredity and Award-winning researcher Nancy L.

Wilson(right) announced March 2 that she will resign her position after the spring semester ends to become the first president and chief operating officer of Nellie Mae, New England's newest educational foundation. The CSU Chancellor's Office estimated that it will take perhaps six months to name a new president, meaning a new chief executive could start work by January 1. Meanwhile, campus officials are expecting an interim president will be named and could arrive before Wilson departs. Calling the move "a difficult personal decision," Wilson said she accepted the new post because it addresses "the most urgent issue of education in our time"-finding ways to assure that schools, especially in urban areas, prepare students for academic success in rigorous college programs.
