Leading a college Career Services Office department for nearly 25 years, you can imagine that I have seen some significant market fluctuations.

Scarborough pointed to "Jimmy Carter's so-called year of malaise [1979]," which, said the former Republican congressman, had been "a lot better" than the economy under Donald Trump.
In the aftermath of President Donald Trump's impeachment trial and in light of the scathing attacks on both Trump and potential Democratic candidates as the 2020 election approaches, the celebration of Presidents Day is a good time to rise above the current political recriminations and rancor by reviewing the character and counsel of our two greatest presidents — George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
Howard Mumford Jones, an English professor at the University of Michigan and later at Harvard, long ago commented that American colleges and universities echoed rather than critiqued contemporary culture.

Troy Polamalu, who played safety for the Pittsburgh Steelers from 2003 to 2014, has been elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.
