Catch-Up with Nathan (and Victoria): Chapter V
Nov. 29, 2012—This, the fifth installment of the Catch-Up Chronicles, is dedicated to my blogging counterpart, Victoria. May she ever attempt to be my equal. So, as many of you may know, I have a blog. I’ve been writing for Inside ‘Dores for almost two years, and it’s proven to be a great experience – I’m able...

Coursera
Oct. 3, 2012—Vanderbilt recently announced that it is partnering with Coursera to offer free online courses.
