In November 2009, a resolution to cancel classes made it to University Senate, but it was voted down by the student population. Currently, the staff and admin- istrators on campus observe Labor Day, while students and profes- sors must attend classes. According to Interim Provost Joan Sattler, the members of the University Senate are the ones who make decisions regarding the schedule three years out. The committee’s study it, where they then might make deci- sions that would go forward so the changes could be made. “I chaired a committee about academic regulations and degree requirements for many years and at that time faculty wanted a way to have Labor Day where they’re not teaching,” Sattler said. “We got that all the way up through the [University] Senate to have Labor Day off for faculty and students.

Some people have a vision to start a business. Others adapt because they’re forced to. I was the latter. I was a casual runner my whole life, but I got serious eight years ago when my mom became ill with cancer. My company was growing, my kids were littler, the days felt overwhelming. The only thing that made me forget about everything was running, so I started doing it every day. Most people think business is the fun, sexy stuff we see on TV, but success comes from the 22 things you have to do every day that nobody notices. That’s just like running. There are a lot of fans at the finish line of a marathon, but not as many between miles three and 26. My proudest running moment was my first marathon in Miami in 2009. I trained only for a few months, but I was really proud that I even finished (in 4:40). I run five miles daily, plus a long run of eight to 10 miles on Sunday. It’s hard to find the time but if I don’t, I’m more tired, I need to eat more – it affects me physically and mentally. I appeared on Dancing With the Stars this year and made it to week eight of 10 with no dance experience.

  • Boston Sports Icons
    Boston Sports Icons FREE Sports Icons Series Sports Comic Book Copyright 2015 | 2nd Edition 2017 By Jim Sweeney – The MIKE Maker Over 200 years ago, Boston boasted its place as the cradle of American liberty. But today, the city is celebrated as an American sports capitol. To many sports fans – especially those in New England - Boston is considered the greatest sports town in the United States. It has earned the enviable moniker by emerging as a sports mecca that produces Hall of Fame athletes and championship professional teams. Once renowned for the revolutionary site of the Boston Tea Party and the courageous midnight ride of Paul Revere, Boston’s current popularity is rivaled by its retinue of noteworthy athletic accomplishments. Boston sports fans proudly rave about their title winning home town teams the Celtics, the Bruins, the Red Sox and the Patriots. Also rich in academia, this vibrant New England city lays claim to some of the most prestigious halls of higher learning. These schools have fathered Heads of State, Nobel Laureates and Captains of Industry. Despite its historic, academic, political and business laurels, today’s Boston may still be better loved for its sports-centric culture. The Hub City cherishes not only historic Faneuil Hall and the legendary Old North Church. With a regional pride that runs deep in athletics, it also venerates the hallowed sports venues of Fenway Park and the old Boston Garden. To honor its rich sports heritage, I’ve penned this FREE sports comic book to acknowledge my top Boston Sports Icons. The FREE book recognizes Boston’s most famous jocks as well as its most revered sports landmarks.

  • US Army Recruitment Advertising and Enlistment Motivation During The
    SCANDINAVIAN JOURNAL OF Fransen, M. (2019). Selling Military Service During Wartime: U.S. Army Recruitment MILITARY STUDIES Advertising and Enlistment Motivation During the War Against Terror. Scandinavian Journal of Military Studies, 2(1), pp. 178–192. DOI: https://doi.org/10.31374/sjms.12 RESEARCH ARTICLE Selling Military Service During Wartime: U.S. Army Recruitment Advertising and Enlistment Motivation During the War Against Terror Martin Fransen Independent scholar, DK [email protected] This article examines the coherence between the themes expressed in the U.S. Army’s recruit- ment advertisements and the enlistment motivation among American soldiers enlisting in the Army in the years 2001–2010, when the country was involved in two wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, respectively. Based on exploration of the prevalent research, the article begins by assess- ing the history of military recruitment and enlistment motivation in the United States after the introduction of the draft in 1917 and after the introduction of the All-Volunteer Force (AVF) in 1973. In this section, the article discusses the role of the Army’s recruitment advertising. Based on an analysis of selected interviews with Army veterans, the second part of the article aims to clarify the different motivations for enlisting in the U.S. Army between 2001 and 2010 and to compare these motivations with the contents of the Army’s recruitment advertisements at the time. The article argues that among the different reasons for enlisting, the feeling of duty to country remained a strong motivator throughout this period. Furthermore, the article argues that there was never complete consistency between the contents of the recruitment advertisements and the soldiers’ enlistment motivation.
