CorrectionsIn the last issue of News Pulse, it was incorrectly reported that Peter D. G. Brown was a member of the art faculty, when in fact, he is a member of the Department of Foreign Languages. Also, Laurel Garrick Duhaney’s (Associate Provost) last name does not include a hyphen. We apologize for the errors.
