When the Dark Knight returned

Last month, we looked back at Alan Moore’s Watchmen and began to explore the literary and visual art of graphic novels.  However, around the same time of the "Watchmen" release, DC Comics published another graphic novel that is as influential and critically adored as Alan Moore’s classic.  This story is Frank Miller’s "The Dark Knight Returns."  Like "Watchmen," this story helped pioneer the mature age of comic books, but unlike Watchmen, which had original characters, "The Dark Knight Returns" brings the mature cynicism and dark realism to DC’s mainstream characters.

TAMIU’s First Student Regent

As if only yesterday, I remember seeing Stephanie Martinez for the first time.  Martinez and I both had college algebra together and the atmosphere of the class was brightened with her unique persona.  She seemed the kind of person you would want to sit next to since she would probably help you without a “price tag.” (more…)

From TAMIU With Love

TAMIU’s Advising & Mentoring Center (AMC) is a precious gem among the university’s vast resources.  It’s an office that has imprinted memories to just about every TAMIU student, including myself.  The hard-working student mentors work rigorously, helping freshman and sophomore students acclimate to TAMIU systems, student routines, and campus resources.  Though freshman students may enter school with confidence, it is the mentors and their office that opens the door for them.

Prime Minister Clinton?

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton rode her post-convention bump with glee.  The polls have her with a comfortable lead against Republican challenger Donald Trump.  However, both candidates have a poor favorability rating.  In terms of public approval ratings, President Barack Obama leads them significantly, but the president communicated a message that could explain this year’s election: Do not vote for the candidate.  Vote for the party. “We all need to get out and vote for Democrats up and down the ticket, and then hold them accountable until they get the job done,” Obama said in his speech at the 2016 Democratic National Convention.
