Professor Brian J. Glenn ’91, Visiting Assistant Professor of Government, travelled to Alaska and climbed Mount Denali—formerly known as Mount McKinley—which is the highest mountain peak in North America. The expedition lasted from May 22 to June 10, 2009. Glenn traveled in a group of 12 hikers with a hired guide. Although the journey was almost three years ago, Glenn still carries his memories and lessons with him. He sat down with The Argus to discuss his experience on the mountain and what he took away from it.

While walking down William St. there is a noticeable divide between where the LoRise apartments end and the Middletown Robert Traverse Square community begins.
Wesleyan University is about to undergo an environmental facelift. A group of dedicated students, headed by Miles Bukiet ’11 and Sam Silver ’11, have proposed a project for the University that will radically alter its landscape and place it at the forefront of the permaculture movement.
