THE NEWS
- Some engineering professors have broadened the focus of their courses to draw a more diverse selection of students. Two advanced engineering courses that emphasize socioeconomic factors and consumer needs — a departure from most courses that deal primarily with technical details of engineering — have seen a rise in popularity among students in the past few years.
- In an effort to promote the School of Management more effectively, SOM Dean Edward Snyder decided during his inaugural year to raise the school’s marketing budget by $1 million. Upon assuming the deanship last summer, Snyder identified a handful of “strategic shortfalls” at SOM — among them, the school’s approach to marketing its programs and initiatives beyond the Yale community. Synder has since committed to increasing the marketing budget and, though specifics of the budget increase will not be announced until later this year, he said the change will ultimately attract more students and faculty to SOM.
- A spin of the carnival wheel on the set of “The Deadly Seven: Shakespeare’s Purgatorio,” determines which of the seven deadly sins the audience experiences next.
