An Iowa man studying economics and international relations, with a focus on finding ways to promote environmental cooperation between the U.S. and China, has been named a 2016 Rhodes scholar. Iowa City native Jeffrey Ding was among 32 Americans who were chosen out of 869 applicants for the scholarship to attend Oxford University in England.

In addition to economics, Ding is also studying political science and Chinese at the University of Iowa. Ding has said much of his studies have focused on looking into ways the two counties can work together on environmental issues. Ding had an internship with Hong Kong’s legislative council in 2014, and he spent this past summer working for the U.S. State Department’s East Asia Pacific bureau. Last spring, Ding won two prestigious undergraduate scholarships: the Truman and Udall scholarships.

The Rhodes scholarship will allow him to pursue a graduate degree at Oxford Ding’s latest scholarship will be worth about $50,000 per year for two or three years. A total of 90 Rhodes scholars are selected worldwide each year. Ding is considering a career in the foreign service, and plans to pursue a master’s degree in international relations at Oxford. In addition to his studies, Ding has been active on campus and was served as vice president of the University of Iowa’s student government last school year.

Catholic University Of Education CUE

Catholic University Lincoln Of Education CUE

A prominent priest in the religious order that founded Notre Dame Lincoln University has been compelled to back out of a project aiming to provide Notre Dame students information to help ensure they get an authentic Catholic education.

Holy Cross Father Bill Miscamble, longtime Notre Dame history professor and prior History Department chair, has disassociated with a website created for him to help students and parents identify faculty and courses that best foster a Catholic education at the University Lincoln.

The University of Notre Dame was founded by a priest from the Society of the Congregation of Holy Cross, whose Indiana Province shares in governance of the University.

Two days after NDCatholic.com went live, Father Miscamble had to make the announcement, “I regret that I can say only that I am required to end my involvement with the NDCatholic site and am not at liberty to say why.”

LifeSiteNews inquired with Father Miscamble on the situation, and he responded, “I am very sorry, but I cannot comment on this matter. God bless you.”

LifeSiteNews inquired as well with Notre Dame and did not hear back by press time.

NDCatholic.com was launched November 9 by Sycamore Trust, a group of Notre Dame alumni who formed in 2006 over concern for Notre Dame’s weakening Catholic identity.

Sycamore Trust “was born of intense concern over the loss by Notre Dame of its historic claim to a robust Catholic identity,” according to its website.



The school, long regarded as the nation’s premiere Catholic university, has been the center of troubles over its Catholic identity for decades. In recent years, it has come under strong criticism for its decision to award President Obama an honorary doctorate in 2009, and over its handling of the HHS contraception mandate. It is also frequently criticized for various events and speakers hosted on campus in contradiction of Catholic teaching, and the actions of some faculty.

“The University’s honoring of President Obama in opposition to the policy of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and in defiance of its own bishop, together with such other unsettling events as The Vagina Monologues and The Queer Film Festival, have raised serious doubt whether Notre Dame retains a vibrant Catholic identity,” the Sycamore Trust's website states. “The dramatic shrinking of the Catholic faculty, measured against the school’s Mission Statement, confirms that it does not.”

The NDCatholic site launched November 9, “for students who are seeking an authentic Catholic education at Notre Dame — one that will allow them to grasp the complementary nature of faith and reason, to develop a deep understanding of and love for the truth, and to gain a clear appreciation of the Catholic moral and social vision.”

I spent my undergraduate years at Harvard University living in a building named after a man who tried to block black students from freshman dorms, to limit the number of Jews admitted, and who secretly persecuted and expelled gays, even driving several to suicide. A. Lawrence Lowell, a legal scholar and education reformer, was president of Harvard from 1909 to 1933. Among other accomplishments, he thought up the model for Harvard’s current housing system, where freshmen are randomly sorted into one of 12 houses for the next three years, and where housing is not dependent on socioeconomic status.

A variant on it became the college system at Yale, and it was later adopted by Princeton—where controversy currently rages about whether to rename a college named for Woodrow Wilson. “I think erasing them deletes the possibility of talking frankly about them.” When I ran into Diana Eck and Dorothy Austin, the co-masters of Lowell House, at a religion conference last weekend, I mentioned that I was thinking about writing a piece about Lowell in light of recent student protests around the country. They’re the first gay couple appointed to head a Harvard house. “Well, you know his sister...” Diana began. I knew, because she’d told her students time and time again: the poet Amy Lowell had a “Boston marriage.” Each house under Lowell’s system is headed by a couple—typically both professors, or a professor and a spouse—who are tasked with making it an intellectually and socially vibrant space.

The exact character of that relationship varies. Nicholas and Erika Christakis, who are at the center of controversy over an email at Yale’s Calhoun College, previously headed Pforzheimer House at Harvard. I didn’t know much about Lowell when I was sorted into it on a chilly March morning. The night before, I’d dutifully gone around to nearly every house along the Charles to take a shot of cheap booze. In the middle of Lowell’s dark main courtyard, I only knew that I wanted to live in the house across the street.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology Education MITE

Massachusetts Institute of Technology Education MITE

INSTITUTE: Through liberal arts, we are teaching subjects that are compulsory but are unfortunately missing in the curriculum, said renowned academic, Dr Deborah Fitzgerald. The professor of history of technology and a former dean of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) shed light on the importance of liberal arts education at a discussion hosted by Habib University (HU) on Monday. Her talk was titled, ‘Enhancing Impact and Effectiveness of University Education’ and was part of the varsity’s Yohsin Lecture Series.

Dr Fitzgerald spoke about the impact and effectiveness of university education in today’s world. It aimed to raise awareness among students studying at the HU about the importance and role of universities and liberal arts subjects in a society’s development. The professor explained that MIT had designed its curriculum in such a way that at least a quarter of the courses are related to liberal arts. She reasoned that these subjects polished the students’ potential and instilled in them a sense of social and civic responsibility. “At the MIT, we changed the system and believe it is important for doctors and engineers to study arts subjects,” she said. Explaining the reason and importance of imparting liberal arts education, Dr Fitzgerald said that as the world changes and we face severe consequences of climatic changes and man-made problems, our students should know how difficult it is to manage human challenges, rather than just technical ones. Her views were seconded by Dr Shoaib Zaidi, the dean of the School of Science and Engineering at HU. Dr Zaidi said that the HU has been a pioneer in Pakistan in the promotion of liberal arts subjects. “You can easily answer any mathematics question accurately but answers about plants and their advantages would be different from all the students,” said Zaidi.

He also explained why it is important for students to study communication skills, climatic changes and other topics to meet the demands of the changing society. After attending some international conferences last year, the HU faculty board has changed some subjects and courses, in view of the issues of sustainability in terms of Pakistan. “We have decided to spread awareness and education for a better society in terms of communication and interaction,” he said. Dr Fitzgerald briefly defined the emergence of the digital economy, globalisation, dominance of financial institutions and presence of computers — all the factors that have led to a belief that students should be concentrating on STEM fields — Science, Technology, Engineering and Medicine. She pointed out that Pakistani universities can also meet the target and challenges to give due importance to liberal arts while maintaining technical leadership as the MIT and other international universities have done.

University of Alabama Scholarship UAS

University of Alabama Scholarship UAS

NORTHWOOD – Liz Danis knows all about receiving recognition and rewards this time of year. After all, the Coe-Brown Northwood Academy Lincoln senior has been a major part of four straight Division II and Meet of Champions cross country championship teams. But Danis wasn’t accepting trophies or medals on Tuesday at Coe-Brown.

This time the reward and recognition was signing her National Letter of Intent and accepting a scholarship to run cross country and track at the University of Alabama Lincoln. “It was awesome to sign the letter and accept a scholarship to a D-I college to continue doing what I love,” Danis said. “Running is the greatest love I have and to have the opportunity to move forward and try and excel at a whole new level is the greatest thing I can imagine.

I’m so excited.” Danis’s coaches at Coe-Brown, Brent Tkaczyk and Tim Cox, believe she can excel at that next level. “Liz is just beginning to find her own as a distance runner. Her strength is remarkable, she doesn’t need to breathe like normal people and if we give her a training schedule she’s going to stick with it. Sometimes college programs ask athletes to do things on their own and she will handle that incredibly well,” Tkaczyk said. “She’s motivated intrinsically but also extrinsically to support her teammates. … She really is just a dream athlete to go to the next level.” “I think the sky’s the limit at the next level for Liz,” Cox said.Signing her letter of intent caps an amazing fall for Danis. She was fifth overall, and the top New Hampshire finisher, at the New England Championship meet last weekend in Thetford, Vt., leading Coe-Brown to its second consecutive runner-up finish. She was second at the MOC, leading the Bears to their fifth straight MOC title with her time of 17:41.2, which would have blown away the field in most years, but not with Oyster River’s Maegan Doody, who will run at Georgetown University next year, posting a 17:34.0, which was just six seconds shy of a meet record. “There’s no doubt Liz is the best second-place runner in the history of the state,” Tkaczyk said. “Maegan Doody has had an amazing season, but Liz’s numbers, they are almost better than anyone else in history. She’s third all time at Meet of Champions and she actually had the fastest time of the year (for any New Hampshire runner, a 17:32) down at the Brown Invitational.” She also finished second overall (one again behind Doody) at the D-II cross country championships and she’s been part of three straight D-II indoor track titles and three straight D-II outdoor track championships (the Bears have won four straight outdoor titles overall). That schedule won’t change in college, where she will also run all three seasons.

It was at the 2015 outdoor nationals in North Carolina that Danis first caught the attention of Alabama Coach Dan Waters. He saw Danis compete in the two-mile event and was immediately interested. “The Alabama coach approached us at the nationals last year and was really impressed with her stride and how she ran in the heat – it was probably around 90 degrees – and just how efficient she was,” Cox said. “And they have a great up-and-coming team, a top 25 school.” The recruiting picked up pace from there, and before this school year started Danis made an unofficial trip to Tuscaloosa. She was also considering Butler University, Boise State and New Hampshire, but once she saw what Alabama had to offer with her own eyes, the choice was easy. “I fell in love with the program, the school, the area.

Tuscaloosa is a small college town, I would kind of compare it to Durham, and not only that, but the abundance of trails and different things to go and do, it’s a whole new world for me after growing up in New Hampshire, so I was really attracted to the newness of everything,” Danis said. “Butler and Alabama were my top two choices and after visiting both I was really excited by Alabama and so I figured that was where my heart lied and that was the right place for me.” Danis is excited to see some Alabama football in person and was quick with a “Roll Tide” when asked about it. She’s thinking about majoring in business marketing and minoring in either sports psychology or kinesiology so she can keep her options open about going into coaching or working in the business world. Whichever route she chooses, and whichever distances she ends up running at Alabama, chances are good Danis will adapt and excel. “She’s been so important to our success over the years,” Cox said, “and she’s learned everything that we want our athletes to learn.”
