Colorado College has been in the news a lot lately. Perhaps you caught the Colorado College men\u2019s basketball team on NBC Nightly News\u2019 \u201cMaking a Difference\u201d segment on Dec. 18. The Tigers added 9-year-old Carter Gates, who is battling leukemia, to the team with a symbolic letter of intent at a ceremonial draft event. The 4-foot, 10 \u00bd-inch youngster was paired with the CC Tigers through Team Impact, a national organization that matches children with life-threatening or chronic diseases with college athletics teams. Head Basketball Coach Andy Partee and James Lonergan \u201916<\/b> served as CC\u2019s liaisons with the organization. More recently, a nine-day Half Block course titled Queen Bees, WannaBees, and Mean Girls was featured on the \u201cToday Show\u201d on Jan. 22 and in the New York Post <\/i>on Jan. 19, in an article written by Post <\/i>reporter Julia Marsh \u201905<\/b>, and in a host of other media outlets. The course, taught by Lisa Hughes in the Comparative Literature Department, explored the means and motives of women seeking authority and the actions they are willing to take in order to hold onto it. Hughes, a classics scholar, and her students read Machiavelli\u2019s \u201cThe Prince\u201d; other texts studied included Jane Austen\u2019s \u201cPride and Prejudice,\u201d Margaret Atwood\u2019s \u201cThe Penelopiad,\u201d David Bordwell and Kristin Thompson\u2019s \u201cFilm Art,\u201d the poetry of Semonides of Amorgos and Sappho of Lesbos; and from Greek mythology, Ovid\u2019s Circe, Scylla, Arachne, and Athena.<\/p>\n
