Evensong “And So It Goes”

In every heart there is a room
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past
Until a new one comes along

[Verse 2]

I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is my self defense

[Chorus]

And every time I’ve held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it goes, and so it goes
And so will you soon I suppose

[Verse 3]

But if my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break

[Chorus]

And this is why my eyes are closed
It’s just as well for all I’ve seen
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you’re the only one who knows

[Verse 4]

So I would choose to be with you
That’s if the choice were mine to make
But you can make decisions too
And you can have this heart to break

[Outro]

And so it goes, and so it goes
And you’re the only one who knows

Summer Internship Research Fellowship

In academia, a “fellowship” is a type of academic or professional award or grant that provides financial support to individuals to pursue a specific area of research or study. Fellowships are typically awarded to graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and scholars who have completed their doctoral degrees, and they are often highly competitive and prestigious. Fellowships may be sponsored by a variety of organizations, including government agencies, non-profit organizations, and private foundations, and they may be focused on a wide range of topics, including science, engineering, humanities, social sciences, and the arts. Some fellowships may provide funding for a specific research project, while others may support a scholar’s ongoing research or professional development.

In addition to providing financial support, fellowships may also offer other benefits, such as access to specialized resources or facilities, networking opportunities, and mentorship or professional development programs. Fellowships are often highly valued by scholars and researchers, as they provide support and recognition for their work and help to advance their careers in academia or other fields.

The deadline for the 2023 National Institute of Standards and Technology Summer Undergraduate Fellowship Program varies from year to year, and it typically falls in the early months of the year. For example, for the 2022 NIST Summer Undergraduate Fellowship Program, the application period opened on November 22, 2021, and the deadline for submitting applications was February 15, 2022.

Vacancy announcements for the 2023 hybrid SURF program for both the Colorado and Maryland sessions closed February 1, 2023. That means applicants have a full year to apply for the 2024 program. We will send up a reminder at every quarter semester during our Leviathan colloquia

The Catholic Imagination: An Incoherent Idea?

About The Institute for Human Ecology. In response to Pope Francis’s plea in Laudato Sí for an “ecological conversion” for the faithful, and the development of a properly human ecology, the Institute for Human Ecology at The Catholic University of America seeks to promote an integrated understanding of human beings in their relationships with one another, with society, and with the natural world in the light of both reason and faith. The institute is dedicated to rigorous multi-disciplinary academic research and public outreach at the intersection of Catholic social teaching, environmental stewardship, and economic development.

The institute will sponsor and organize research, analyze public policy, publish national studies, work closely with lawmakers, policymakers and Church leaders, train and promote its own cadre of students and young researchers, and offer symposia, conferences, debates, and lectures for academia and the public square.

The Catholic Church brings a distinct perspective to the discussion of environmental and economic questions. This contribution calls us to care for creation and for “the least of these.” (Mt 25:40). Inspired by biblical revelation and natural law, the “Catholic way” is ultimately rooted in a profound sense of human ecology that understands nature as a creation and that does not divorce the well-being of creation from that of human beings.

State Authorization Processes for Distance Education

Evaluation of the State Authorization Processes for Distance Education

Devrim Ozdemir, Ph.D. – James Goodlett McDaniel

George Mason University

Abstract. In this article, the process of obtaining state authorizations for distance education at George Mason University is presented. The purpose of the paper is to provide guidance to those four-year public universities that deliver distance education programs. In order to attract students from multiple states, the U.S. Department of Education (USDOE)’s “program integrity issues” announced in Fall 2010 has created some confusion as to how best to maintain compliance. Although changes in the program integrity processes that were required by the USDOE have been placed on hold, state regulations regarding the operation of higher education institutions are still in place. Therefore, George Mason University continues to seek approval from all states in which we have noted online student enrollment. In this study, we present the process of obtaining state authorizations over the last year, including challenges, variability of state authorizations, a status report on Mason compliance processes, and, future plans regarding the state authorization processes. The article is meant to help guide university leaders who must allocate resources wisely in an arena with multiple fixed constraints.
