Friday Varia and Quick Hits

A lovely fall day here in Grand Forks, so here are a little gaggle of quick hits and varia:

• This is a pretty nice little piece about advising graduate students.
• This is a great interactive video project on life in the Global Highrise.
• The 2010 National Survey of Student Engagement is out.
• A nice report on how students evaluate research information.
• The University of North Dakota and social media: A Soft Yes.
• More social media at the departmental level.
• Even more on social media.
• This is pretty depressing cricket (at least from an Australian standpoint).
• What I'm reading: Laura Salah Nasrallah, Christian Responses to Roman Art and Culture. Cambridge 2010 (via Dimitri Nakassis)
• What I'm listening to: Clinic, Bubblegum (via Kostis Kourelis)
