A Grand Challenges team at Georgia Tech called Food Fighters has been working for almost two years now on the problem space of food insecurity on college campuses.

They are conducting an IRB research study to understand underlying reasons why food insecure students do not seek assistance, and are trying to reach students all over campus.
Please fill out this very short survey (~5 minutes) for Food Fighters. They are conducting research that will help reveal key information about food insecurity on college campuses.

Blood Brothers: The Fatal Friendship between Muhammed Ali and Malcolm X by Randy Roberts and Johnny Smith has been released to the press and has received glowing reviews.

The University of Virginia is proud to sponsor summer archaeological field schools at three of Virginia's premier historic sites: the first permanent English settlement at Jamestown, Thomas Jefferson's primary home and plantation at Monticello, and Jefferson's personal retreat and plantation at Poplar Forest. These field schools offer a unique opportunity for students to make a contribution to the research and interpretation of early American history. Students receive graduate credits (Anthropology 5589) from the University of Virginia.

Each field school provides students a foundation in field of historical archaeology and offers the opportunity to learn the practical skills of site survey, excavation, recording, and laboratory procedures. A good part of each day is spent doing excavation which requires physical endurance and excellent health. On-site instruction, lectures, discussion sessions, and field trips to other archaeological sites complement the field work.
