Winter 2012

AC Magazine - Winter 2012From the President
One of the best things about being a part of “Kangaroo Nation” is that there are friends in every port.

For the Children
Marian Wright Edelman has been selected as the recipient of the 2012 Austin College Posey Leadership Award. The founder and president of the Children’s Defense Fund will be honored in April and share her experiences in events on campus and in Dallas.

Austin College Is Top Fulbright Producer
The six Austin College graduates awarded Fulbright grants for 2011­-2012 travel to South Korea, Columbia, Germany, and Croatia were enough to place the College among the top producers in the nation.

Digging the Antarctic
Texas plant expert George Diggs, professor of biology, set out to Antarctica to see what examples he might find there to connect his students with their coursework.

A Century of Science
Sciences always were a significant part of the Austin College education but in 1911 as the curriculum expanded separate departments developed. With new improvements—like electricity!— science education continued to grow, and in 2011­-2012 is celebrated at 100 years of educating men and women for success.
