Two weeks ago, my brother appeared to have worn himself ragged, mulling over the daunting decision of what to do with his life over the next four years. The worry ate at him as he wondered whether to choose a college that would cost him $190,000 by the time he graduated in 2012, or a college that would more or less pay him to attend, and give him a free MacBook to boot.

Ah, this year's very last issue of the Opportunity. I still remember my first oppy editorial like it was yesterday but I already feel like a veteran. I don't mean a veteran at writing editorials (I still struggle with that), but I just know how each issue is going to turn out.

When I first came to UMass from the active-duty Navy in January of 2007, I was immediately struck by the relatively-poor resources on campus for veterans. From the inept transfer "orientation," to the endless arguments with financial aid over my veteran status, to the cold treatment by the housing assignments office, my transition from the military to the UMass community was anything but smooth.

I have been teaching management courses at Baruch College for close to 15 years, continuously experimenting with different models designed to engage students and empower them to take responsibility for shaping their academic experience.

The theory of evolution is arguably the most misunderstood theory in all of science. In a recent poll conducted by USA Today, it was found that almost half of Americans (47%) believe that evolution is either definitely or probably not true. But almost all scientists (95%) believe the theory to be either definitely or most likely true.

A few months ago, Mike Gravel was just another politician vying for the endorsement of the Democratic Party in the 2008 presidential election.
You've probably never heard of him, but those who have know him to be a man of interesting politics. Arguably, those politics got a lot more interesting on March 25 when, after suffering defeat in the primaries, the former Alaskan senator changed his tune.

As members of the Hunter Women's Rights Coalition, we would like to give my sincerest thanks to outgoing Vice President Ben Siegel for his dedication and service. Unfortunately for us, he is graduating and cannot remain an officer. His hard work and commitment to the club, its members and feminism are exemplary for women and men alike.

Last weekend, YC Dean David Srolovitz hung out with his students on the Wilf Campus. Other than it being a sentimental farewell to Rabbi Zevulun Charlop as RIETS Dean, there was nothing particularly special about the Shabbat schedule. No special Q&A session for students to meet their dean.

If I were to leave YU with but one piece of advice, it would be that it's the little things that matter. I mean, the formula behind YU makes a lot of sense. It is a Yeshiva, and a University - espousing the often touted philosophies of Torah u-Madda, and Modern Orthodoxy.

By Zev Eleff I tried so hard. With so much clarity, I recall my first article assignment for The Commentator. I was to interview a sophomore who spent his summer scuba diving off the Florida Keys in search for traces of wrecked sailboats. It was a 579-word feature piece about some kid who liked to snorkel, and I was determined to impress my editor-in-chief.

With the end of year quickly approaching, organizations throughout the college are hosting a plethora of award ceremonies honoring student leaders. I had the privilege of attending two such events.
The Ticker's elegant reception featured fawning introductions by the editors as they bestowed certificates upon their most prized writers and contributors.

Ducks can't read. And a lot of college students don't bother to either. When walking across campus with friends, searching for the perfect place for a game of ultimate frisbee, soccer or muggle quidditch, little yellow signs are hardly on our radar. But perhaps they should be.

This is the fifth and final commentary in a series.
This is my 26th year as an adjunct psychology professor at Baruch. Hired in 1983, I taught between six and 12 credits every fall, spring and summer since then.
I worked for chairman Dr. Walter Reichman for about 20 years - one of the finest and most decent people I have ever known.

A Dartmouth College professor made headlines last week when she threatened to sue seven of her former students for harassment after they disagreed with her in class, saying that their "anti-intellectualism" in asking questions and contradicting her opinions violated her civil rights.

We all remember Kanye West's line during the Katrina fundraiser, the one that left Mike Myers speechless: "George doesn't care about black people." Maybe that's true, maybe it isn't, but what is evident now is that there is still a portion of America that cares immensely about black people.

You circle around the lot, hoping a rare parking spot will pop out and spare you the hassle of walking the extra three minutes from the car to the Student Center entrance. Then you realize the spot isn't free; a motorcycle or compact resides in that spot, elongating your amaranthine journey down the lot.

Well, this is it - graduation. Given the economy, I can look forward to getting no jobs with my UConn degree. But at least my alma mater taught me to drink. Cheers, UConn.
You know that statistic they teach you on orientation where one of the people sitting next to you won't graduate? It's true, just ask my buddy who sat to my right.
