The Paul R. Tregurtha was in Duluth loading coal for the day. It arrived in the morning and departed about 7:15 p.m.
It was VERY cold with rather large waves. As the boat passed by, some of the spray from the waves was higher than the concrete ledge in this picture.
Sophia is 7 1/1 years old and is being homeschooled at the 2nd grade level. She will be taking this picture as well as other ones that she took during her first week of homeschooling (in Duluth and the surrounding area) and putting them in a book so she can remember what she saw and learned.
Members of the MRacing Team cheer as they break the seal during demolding at the Wilson Student Team Project Center on the North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Thursday evening, February 2, 2023.
The demolding process took hours keeping students at the Wilson until after 10 p.m. The Winter term is always one of the busiest times of year at the Wilson Center as student teams move from theoretical design into production in preparation for competition season.

Heather Hare, left to right, George Zhou, both undergraduates in materials science and engineering, prepare to pour the metal into a mold under the direction of professor Tim Chambers in the MSE Advanced Lab in the Herbert H. Dow Engineering Building on the North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Friday afternoon, February 17, 2023. The floor of the lab where the pour will happen has a layer of sand on it to protect it in case of spills.
The Advanced Lab is home to MSE 360, a course about structural materials used for building everything from vehicles to buildings and beyond. In the first half of the course, students learn standard alloys before moving into design. MSE 360 is an opportunity to gain experience in both theory and application.

From left, Logan Galindo, Victoria Arciniega, Adina Farca, Jackson Brown, all senior undergraduates in naval architecture and marine engineering, begin removing wiffle balls at the main model basin at the Aaron Friedman Marine Hydrodynamics Laboratory on the Main Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Thursday, February 2, 2023.
The students are working on research titled “Design and Evaluation of Naval Vessels for Arctic Operations” and is for the Naval Engineering Education Consortium under Associate Professor Kevin Maki. Professor Maki is the director of the MHL.
The research involves using 7,200 wiffle balls to simulate sea ice conditions.

In Home Ec, the girls learned how to make a simple snack with an egg, chives, carrots, and Miracle Whip.
Each bunny is a half an egg; the whiskers and eyes are chives; and the ears and nose are carrots. The girls really enjoyed making these rabbits.

A few times a year, Human Connections organizes GETs (Global Engagement Trips) for student groups, tourists, and other visitors eager to gain a better understanding of the local culture in Nayarit, Mexico. This particular GET group, from Northern Illinois University, participated in a week long program centered around social entrepreneurship, NGO management, and sustainable development.

Through KU’s Project for Innocence, Floyd Bledsoe was exonerated and released from prison after 16 years for a crime he did not commit.
KU law students had worked on the case since 2006 and advocated for new DNA testing that showed Bledsoe’s innocence.
Bledsoe visited and spoke with a law class about his experience.

Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little meets with freshman students of Oswald and Self Halls during FYE's Hawkweek, to kickoff the Common Book initiative. Ernest Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms" was selected for the 2015-16 school year.
KU Common Book is a campus-wide initiative to engage first-year students. A key component of Bold Aspirations, the KU strategic plan, is investing in first-year intellectual experiences. As part of this emphasis, KU Common Book will generate opportunities for shared intellectual experiences that invite analysis, foster critical thinking, and reflect the type of reasoned discourse expected at a university.
First-year students receive the common book at Orientation and are encouraged to read and discuss the book at activities and programs throughout the year. The Common Book was selected by a committee comprised of faculty, staff, and students from nominations generated by the KU campus. Although the program focuses on freshmen and transfer students, the steering committee invites participation from all students, as well as faculty and staff who wish to include the book in their classes and programs.
