8 ■ September 2002 the >lD6d ncssm 1 the stentorian New faces: Ms. Brown Nikki Jones C oming to us from a position at Naugatuck Valley College in Connecticut, Ms. Julie Brown has begun her first year as a member of NCSSM's faculty. This semester she's teaching Anatomy & Physiology - her favorite subject - and AP Environmental Science. Her classes, always fun and upbeat, include plenty of laughs, wades in the bio pond, and personal anecdotes. However, her classes aren't just fun and games. Pertinent issues are debated daily in Environmental Science, and anyone in Anatomy and Physiology can tell you it's not just a stroll in the park. "The students are great," Ms. Brown says, "[and] I'm impressed by their prepara tion." Although the juniors were initially more shy and reserved in class, she's noticed that they're "starting to come out of their shells" and partic ipate in discussions, now that they've seen that "[the teach ers] are really interested in their thoughts." Though enthusiastic about our school, she does attest to one of the more Unfortunate aspects of Science and Math life: the notorious PFM. Still, she plays up the "really good turkey sandwich es" and fresh fruit (if caught somewhere between the green and brown mush stages), which have become her regu lar since an unfortunate run-in with a "questionable ravioli sauce." She also mentions the chocolate pudding as a no-fail safe option. We at NCSSM are pleased to welcome Ms. Brown to our distinguished faculty, and hope that her year continues as smoothly as it's begun.

The tragedy affected us all as individuals, as students and as Americans. We all remember the feelings of confusion and grief that were the short-term effects of that day, but it is now time to evaluate the long-term effects. What is different now; what still needs to change? I interrupted these fine folks' dining expe rience to ask them the following question: What did you learn from the events of September 11? After some intense soul- searching, they gave me these responses. Whether or not you agree with them, I strong ly suggest you take a moment to reflect on the past year and come to your own conclusions. "Our govern ment keeps things from us." Amie Coffey "Hatred can destroy the world." Pooja Doshi "Life's tough." Jordan Holmes "We're more vulner able than we ever thought we were." Andrew Barker "Be sure your friends and family know how much you care." Laura Padgett "It takes something tragic to make us realize what we really have."
