Here at Mr. Jefferson’s University, we have a lot to be proud of. Academically, we’re the best public university in the country, no matter what the hippies in California will tell you. Our McIntire School of Commerce produces the best and the brightest in the financial world*, and, of course, we have a UNESCO World…
It’s hard not to be excited for the Sochi Winter Olympics, now just a few short weeks away. Spectators the world over will be wowed by breath-taking feats of athleticism in ski slalom, snowboard cross, bobsleigh (feel the rhythm, feel the rhyme…), and, of course, this year’s controversial – not to mention verbose – new…
