The Links - Mon March 11

Howdy folks. Trying something new today. Every other day or so we're going to pull together a few juicy items that may be of interest. Topics will range from the doings of fellow Brown grad students, to pertinent Brown U news, to events and opinions that bear on graduate education nationally. Feel free to spread and share, and of course let us know if there's something you'd like to hear more about.

To kick things off, here are the Daily Links (working title)!

• On the pitfalls of outcomes assessments (Chronicle of Higher Ed).
• On the importance of virtual communities for grad students (Inside Higher Ed).
• Walsh and Chery GS to speak at New Bedford Explorium (Herald News).
• McCabe GS in Brown Political Review.
