Teach for America comes to UCD

Do questions regarding life after graduation wake you up at night? Why not go back to school after you graduate? Only this time, you'll be in front of the desk, not sitting behind it.

Teach For America (TFA), a national non-profit organization, sends college graduates to teach in urban and rural areas in an attempt to end educational inequity. TFA enlists the nation's future leaders in the struggle for educational equality for students from low-income areas throughout the United States.

UCD Book Project searches for happiness

Finding bliss may just be a page-turner away. This year's Campus Community Book Project's must-read is Eric Weiner's The Geography of Bliss: One Grump's Search for the Happiest Places in the World - aimed at uniting the university and city communities.

New scheduling system for Health Center

Once upon a few months ago, if a student woke up with a sore throat and fever, they would have to argue themselves hoarse with the appointment desk in an attempt to be seen that day.

Now, with the Cowell Student Health Center's new Open Access System, if a student wakes up feeling ill on a Monday, they can see a doctor that same Monday.

Editor's Note: Mario Lugo is the Aggie's self-proclaimed fashion enthusiast. He ventured around campus on the look-out for the latest fall trends to bring you this quarter's new fashion guide.

With the sun beginning to shy away into the clouds, the leaves turning icky colors and school starting up again, there's hardly a reason why anyone would be excited for fall's arrival, right? Well, ladies and gentlemen, think again because there are plenty of reasons why you will fall in love with fall.
