Hilarious,

Tampoco es cuestion de ser solo amarillista. Aca va el update de la situacion con el meil del presi,

During the controversy over the recent incident connected with a psychology class, someone shared with me the following quote from Robert Frost: “Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.” As we deal with last week’s events, we should keep that in mind while also remembering all that makes us Northwestern.

On Saturday at Dance Marathon I got to watch more than a thousand sweaty, happy and very tired students raise nearly a million dollars to benefit the Children’s Heart Foundation and the Evanston Community Foundation. I had the honor of speaking to them and pointed out that they personify some of the finest values of our University -- dedication, perseverance and service.

I met Friday with a recent graduate, Samir Mayekar, who just received a prestigious Soros Fellowship, making him the latest of our students to win a highly competitive national scholarship.

I also learned of the significant research breakthrough by Jack Kessler, the Davee Professor of Stem Cell Biology, that transforms stem cells into a type of neuron that dies early in Alzheimer’s, one of the most horrific diseases of our time.

Today, we will welcome Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor to speak at the Law School.

Those activities, and the many other wonderful things that occur each and every day at Northwestern, aren't likely to attract the same amount of media coverage that the recent incident has. But they define who we are.

Our University is one of the finest in the world. That’s a fact. Controversy attends all universities, including ours.  That, alas, is another fact.  And when it does occur, there will be disagreement on how the University should respond, even among the most thoughtful of our more than 250,000 students, parents, faculty, staff and alumni. I’m confident, however, in our ability to work through this situation, guided, as we must be, by the light of reason.

Some 150 years ago, Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated as president after winning an election in which he was backed by John Evans and other Northwestern founders. In his inaugural address, he said, “Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.” I’ve learned quickly the deep affection that members of the Northwestern community have for the University and why it is so well-deserved.

I share that affection. Today, I am as proud as ever to wear Northwestern purple, and I thank all of you who care so deeply about our University.

Economia en Northwestern!

No solo de premios Nobel vive Northwestern,

Ah.. los 90s

Creo haber expresado, en mas de una ocasion, mi enemistad con la nostalgia. Pero posts como este me obligan a reconciliarme. Aun recuerdo como si fuese ayer cuando sali de aquella roqueria de la calle San Martin (no recuerdo el nombre ahora, pero creo que estaba cerca de Espejo) luego de haber garpado mi primer CD con la guita que me habian regalado para mi cumple... Mi primer CD loco! Pero Nevermind, afortunadamente, puedo volver a distanciarme de dicha tristeza melancolica con solo pensar que todavia existen los Fighters, y lo que es mejor, que se viene el nuevo album.

No esistis... entendiste?? No esistis!

Ponete Derecho Carajo!

Seguimos con la promocion de mi Uni. Esta vez dandonos consejos para entrevistas y ser mas poderosos: nada de hombros caidos, piernitas juntas y posicion timidona,

Show enthusiasm, ask questions and bring copies of a resume — these are some of the most common interview tips for job seekers. But one’s posture may also influence whether he or she lands a coveted position — even when the person on the other side of the desk is in a more powerful role. 

According to new Kellogg School research, posture plays an important role in determining whether people act as though they are really in charge. The research finds that “posture expansiveness” — positioning oneself in a way that opens up the body and takes up space — activates a sense of power that produces behavioral changes in a person independent of his or her actual rank or hierarchical role in an organization.
