Cynthia Banks didn’t have the opportunity to study abroad as a student. The summer after graduating in 1989, she helped a marketing professor take a group of undergraduates to Australia to study at the University of Queensland in Brisbane. The ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ native launched an international education organization a year later that would eventually send 30,000 students to 27 countries and offer 150 programs worldwide.

On Nov. 22 a preliminary injunction on the implementation of the planned changes to the Fair Labor Standards Act's (FLSA's) salary threshold for exemption from overtime pay was put in place. In response to this hold, the campus has revised its plans for compliance with the original Dec. 1 implementation date.

Two new undergraduate degrees are coming online in the fall, one designed to address teacher shortages particularly among high-needs communities, the other intended to turn out skilled, ethical leaders who can bridge differences and contribute to public work, be it in higher education, international development, urban planning or other areas.

Welcome back, Buffs! We’re in the final stretch now, so buckle down and make your winter break a victory lap.
